What is IFA?
Immediate Financing Arrangement (IFA) is an advanced financial strategy that
combines permanent insurance and bank financing, designed for high-income
professionals and business owners.
How IFA Works:
1. You purchase a high-value participating whole life insurance policy
2. Once issued, you leverage the policy’s cash value as collateral
3. A bank provides a line of credit or loan based on that collateral
4. You can reinvest the loan or use it for business needs while the policy grows in
value
Key Benefits:
Capital Efficiency: Access capital immediately after funding your policy
Tax Advantages: Loans are not considered taxable income
Wealth Growth: Continue to grow assets while using borrowed funds
Legacy Planning: Tax-free death benefit passes to beneficiaries or trust
Who Should Consider IFA?
Business owners or professionals with strong cash flow
Those looking for high-leverage strategies for investment or estate planning
Clients with tax burdens looking for long-term shelter
Always consult with an experienced IFA planner to ensure regulatory compliance
and strategic efficiency.
