    You wouldn't find a bank willing to do that.

    get your own legal advice but in my opinion it would trigger a deemed dividend as the company is providing financial accommodation to a shareholder or associate, assuming they own the company.

    If you beneficially own some shares in the bucket company, the ultimate way is death. Leaving those shares to the trustee of a Testamentary Discretionary Trust which can then receive dividends from the company and distribute these to a wide class of beneficiaries including minor children at adult tax rates.
