Premium Finance Partners

For the Office of the CFO

Your insurers are paid. Your cashflow is intact.


A premium finance facility converts your annual insurance premium into equal monthly instalments - without touching your banking lines, and without additional security.

What Premium Finance Is

Premium finance is not a loan in the retail sense. It is a working-capital tool.

Corporate insurance programmes are priced annually, and insurers expect the year's premium upfront. Paying it in cash ties up capital in a non-revenue-generating item at precisely the moment the year's plans need funding.

A PFP facility resolves this. We pay your annual premium directly to your insurers - all of them - upfront, in full, on your behalf. You repay PFP in equal monthly instalments across the term of the policy. Cover is secured from inception, the full input VAT is claimable from the policy's inception date, and your capital stays where it earns.

The facility is secured by the insurance policy itself. No additional collateral, no retail-loan posturing.

The Benefits
01

Simplicity

All policies and insurer payments aggregated into one monthly payment to PFP. One debit order, every insurer - however many carriers sit on your programme.

02

Liquidity

Capital is not tied up in non-revenue-generating items. The cashflow you would have surrendered on inception stays available for the parts of the business that earn.

03

Collateral

No additional security or collateral is required outside of the insurance policy itself. Your banking lines and balance sheet are untouched.

04

VAT Claim

The full input VAT for the annual premium is claimable on the inception date of the policy - not pro-rated across the year.

05

Profitability

Because the facility is secured by the policy itself, clients are afforded very aggressive interest rates - fixed for the term, and frequently below the cost of the working-capital alternatives.

06

Dependability

Every insurer on the programme is settled, every renewal, without follow-up from you. The facility runs to the same standard in the fifth year as in the first.

Cost of Capital

Premium finance is a treasury decision, not a distress signal.

The strongest balance sheets in the country finance their premiums - not because they must, but because it is frequently the most cost-effective form of capital available to the business. The facility is priced against the security of the policy itself, which is why the rate is sharper than the working-capital alternatives.

The arithmetic is simple. An annual premium paid in cash is capital retired from duty. Financed at a fixed rate, that capital stays on the balance sheet and works - and the facility earns its keep whenever that capital earns more than it costs.

Credit approval is practical. We understand business and balance sheets, so assessment is commercial rather than mechanical - and it moves at the pace of your renewal, not the pace of a committee.

The Facility, Across the Year
Inception

Every insurer settled, upfront

PFP settles your annual premium with each insurer on your programme, in full, on your behalf. Cover is secured from inception, and the full input VAT is claimable from the policy's inception date.

Months one to twelve

Equal monthly instalments

One fixed debit order to one lender, in place of multiple lump sums to multiple insurers. Mid-term endorsements are handled by PFP without re-papering the facility.

Renewal

The facility renews with the programme

One facility. Every insurer. Every renewal. As your programme renews, the facility renews alongside it - terms refreshed, administration handled.

What It Takes
I

Speak to your broker

Clients are introduced through their broker, who remains your advisor throughout. If you would rather start with us, we will bring your broker into the conversation.

II

Send the schedule

Once the policy schedule is to hand, indicative terms follow. Quotations and finance agreements are drafted within two hours of request.

III

Sign, and it is done

On signature, the facility is in place and PFP settles your insurers on your behalf. Your part of the process is measured in minutes, not meetings.

The most cost-effective
capital in the business.

Request indicative terms

Indicative terms only. Subject to credit approval, receipt of the policy schedule, and signature of the facility agreement. Security requirements are confirmed on approval.
