Is your corporation’s cash sitting idle, costing you opportunities — but pulling it out would mean a massive tax hit?
Many Canadian entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in the corporate cash trap: profits that feel safe inside the company but are losing ground to inflation and taxes. You’ve worked hard to build retained earnings, but now they’re just sitting in low-yield accounts — too expensive to withdraw and too inefficient to grow. In this episode, you’ll hear how one Ontario entrepreneur turned that same challenge into a wealth-building strategy that gave him control, flexibility, and peace of mind.
You’ll discover:

- Why a properly structured, corporately owned whole life policy can double as a source of opportunity capital for future investments.
- The mindset shift that helps business owners move from feeling stuck to feeling in control of their corporate wealth.
If you’re ready to make your corporate cash work for you — without sacrificing liquidity or facing a tax hit — press play and learn how to unlock your own “opportunity capital.”
