So it's just life insurance?' No. And the difference is the whole point. Here's the actual mechanism, in four steps:
I. Structure the policy properly. Not a typical policy — one engineered for cash value and liquidity from day one, with a mutual carrier that's paid dividends every year since the 1800s.
II. Capitalize it with capital already inside your business. Operating reserves, retained earnings, distributions. Money currently sitting in checking earning nothing.
III. Borrow against it — not from it. This is the part most people miss. The cash value keeps compounding at the policy's full rate while you use a collateralized loan for equipment, marketing, inventory, or a deal.
IV. Repay on your schedule. No bank. No committee. No approval. One dollar, doing two jobs. The policy is the vehicle. The banking function is the strategy. Confusing the two is why most people dismiss this before they understand it.
