If you're looking for a way of raising cash quickly, you might consider surrendering your life insurance policy for its cash value. If you or your company has been paying into a life insurance policy for years, you've probably got several thousand dollars worth of cash value built up, depending on the type of policy and how long you've had it. When you surrender the policy, you're effectively cancelling it, and removing all future obligations from the insurance company to pay survivors and heirs upon your death.
So if you're in need of some fast capital, dig out that old insurance policy, call your agent, and see what it's worth.
