How The Expanded Interest Deduction Could Make Business Loans Your Growth Partner
Business debt gets a bad rap—but under the One Big ‘B’ Bill, it just became a smarter financial move.
Before this update, depreciation and amortization were subtracted from your income when calculating how much interest you could deduct. That meant some CEOs couldn’t deduct the full cost of their business financing.
Now? The new law removes that restriction—so more of your interest expense is tax deductible.
This is major if: - You’ve taken out a loan to scale your business - You’re considering equipment financing, expansion, or capital investments - You want to turn debt into a profit-building tool
As The CEO’s Fractional COO, I don’t just help clients grow. I help them grow wisely—with strategies that support scale and protect cash flow.
Here’s the truth: debt isn’t the enemy. Disorganized, inefficient, or poorly timed debt is.
This change lets you: - Borrow with better tax positioning - Improve year-end deductions - Reframe debt as a temporary tool with long-term ROI
Let’s stop fearing debt—and start leveraging it.
Most CEOs don't know what they're missing, until it costs them. You just learned one of seven strategies that could shift how you scale. The rest? They're in the workbook. Grab your copy before this limited challenge closes and get the knowledge most service-based CEOs never receive.
