Do you offer payment plans at Paramount?
Paramount Insurance does not offer payment plans. However, most insurance companies we represent offer payment plan options based on each client’s individual payment history. Call us for more details on what is available to you and your family!
The Captive is in a separate vehicle – so in the event of a bankruptcy or sale or whatnot of the operating company, I would think, so long as the operating company doesn’t own the Captive itself, would the Captive’s value survive?
We cannot provide a professional opinion on this question as we are not accountants or lawyers. Therefore, we strongly recommend seeking professional advice. However, the simple answer is yes, assuming the operating company has no ownership of the Captive. The Caveat being, if both companies have common ownership (ie. the same shareholders). A court of law or the CRA maybe be able to access those assets; this a legal question that should be directed preferably to a tax attorney.
We are always open to answer any other questions you may have, and here for you for whatever you may need; email us or message us on LinkedIn or Facebook!
