Canadian Business Spotlight on critical illness insurance.
Hear what Desjardins’ senior regional sales director has to say about must-have insurance for business professionals.
Executive Health Savings Plan (aka Shared Ownership Critical Illness Insurance)
The Executive Health Savings Plan (EHSP) is an innovative strategy that enables a business owner or key professional to leverage the benefits of critical illness insurance to manage health risk and provide a solid, risk-free return on investment to the client.
The EHSP is now the go-to strategy to meet the tax-efficient savings needs of professionals and business owners.
Who Is It for?
Incorporated business owners or professionals who have retained earnings in their company or holding company and have a long-term outlook for their company. This strategy allows them to access retained earnings from their company in a tax-efficient manner while providing required health risk protection for the company.
