A compensation tool designed to reward select executives with cash value life insurance
Attracting, motivating and retaining key executives takes a competitive compensation package that includes more than a salary and a bonus.
The Golden Executive Bonus Arrangement (GEBA) can be a solution for rewarding and retaining your most valued executives. This tool gives your company a current income tax deduction through the payment of a bonus which the employee uses to pay the premiums on a cash value life insurance policy. The company can maintain control by including provisions into the arrangement which is drafted by a licensed attorney.
Features of life insurance funded GEBA:
- You decide who participates
- You can tailor it to the needs of each executive
- It is income tax-deductible for your company*
- You can adjust the benefit to meet your future needs
- It is easy to get started
Considerations: Company does not receive the policy's death benefit.
If you're looking for an executive compensation tool that helps you retain one or more key executives, consider using life insurance in a GEBA.
