$500K Sitting in Your Corporation?
Here Is How to Take It Out Tax-Free.
Move that money out the usual way and CRA takes up to 53%. There is a CRA-compliant structure that gets it into your hands without the tax hit — but it only works for certain corporations. A twenty-minute call with a licensed advisor tells you whether yours is one of them.

Corporate Wealth Strategy. Simplified.
Most business owners incorporate for liability protection and stop there. Inside that same corporate structure are strategies capable of saving tens of thousands in taxes every year.
Northern Shield Savings brings these strategies to incorporated Canadian business owners, spanning corporate tax optimization, key person insurance, and trust and entity planning. We collaborate with licensed advisors across Canada to implement what most traditional advisory teams overlook.
Protect
Safeguard your corporate assets from excessive taxation, creditor exposure, and unforeseen liabilities through proven legal structures.
Grow
Accelerate retained earnings through tax-advantaged vehicles designed to compound within your corporation, not on CRA's balance sheet.
Transfer
Transition corporate wealth to the next generation on a tax-free basis, preserving what you have built without triggering punitive tax events.
Three Pillars of Corporate Wealth
Every incorporated business owner has access to these strategies, yet few are ever presented with them. We connect you with licensed advisors who specialize exclusively in corporate wealth.
Corporate Tax Strategy
Retain more capital within your corporate structure.
Many incorporated business owners pay significantly more in corporate tax than necessary, simply because the available structures are never presented to them. We work to reduce your corporate tax exposure through legal, CRA-compliant strategies including the Immediate Financing Arrangement (IFA), corporate class funds, and capital dividend account optimization.
- Reduce effective corporate tax rates
- Access corporate cash without triggering 53% personal tax
- Double deduction strategies through the IFA
Key Person & Whole Life Insurance
Tax-free wealth transfer through corporate-owned protection.
Corporate-owned life insurance remains one of the most effective, yet underutilized, instruments in Canadian tax planning. When structured properly, it generates a tax-free death benefit, accumulates cash value within the policy, and can be leveraged through collateral loans to access capital without triggering taxable events.
- Tax-free death benefit to the corporation
- Cash value accumulation inside the policy
- Collateral loan access for corporate liquidity
Trust & Entity Planning
Structured asset protection and long-term succession planning.
For business owners planning beyond the current fiscal year, trust and entity structuring is essential. From family trusts to holding company configurations, we help you protect assets, plan for succession, and ensure your wealth transitions to the next generation rather than to CRA. This is about building a lasting legacy, not just a profitable business.
- Family trust and holding company structures
- Succession planning for business continuity
- Estate freeze and wealth transfer strategies
It Takes About $500K Before This Is Worth Doing.
Below that, the structure costs more than it returns and we will tell you so. Above it, the difference between the usual withdrawal and a properly structured one runs into six figures. Here is the honest line.
