Premium funding is a short-term facility that spreads the cost of your insurance over the year. Cover starts now.
Short-term and structured over the number of instalments that suits your cash flow.
Instead of twelve months of cover paid upfront, the money stays in the business — for stock, wages or any other business expense.
Typically sharper than an overdraft, and for a business the interest charge is generally deductible. Confirm the treatment with your accountant.
Premium funding is one of the simplest facilities in commercial finance. This is the process.
Your invoice or statement from the insurer or broker is usually all we need to start. Multiple invoices are fine.
We negotiate with Premium Funders to provide the best structured option for you. You can choose the number of preferred instalments.
You receive a premium funding contract which can be accepted electronically, or signed and returned.
The funder settles the premium, your cover stays live from day one, and you pay the instalments across the term.
The funder pays the premium in full, you pay monthly. Multiple policies can sit under one facility with a single instalment date.
We work alongside insurance brokers who want only the best funding option for Clients, without the hassle of all the leg work. We know every Funder in the market so you don’t have to. The desk is small on purpose; personal care and accountability. All approvals are managed; settlements are tracked by the same two people from start to finish. You keep working on the next thing, and we keep you in the loop.

Runs the funding book day to day — preparing and issuing quotes, and keeping submissions moving across the funder panel through to approval.
An interest charge on the funded amount, quoted upfront before you sign. The rate depends on the funder, the size of the premium, the term and your trading history — there's no single published number, which is why we take each policy to the panel rather than quoting off a rate card.
Generally not against your property or other assets. The funder's security is the policy itself — specifically its return premium if the policy were cancelled mid-term. That's what keeps the facility simple and quick to put in place.
The insurer's return premium is paid to the funder and offset against what's left owing. If there's a shortfall you cover the difference; if there's a surplus it comes back to you. Tell us early if a cancellation is coming so it's handled cleanly.
Yes. Several policies can usually be bundled into one facility with a single instalment date, which is generally easier to reconcile than separate arrangements per policy. Renewals falling at different times can often be folded in as they come up.
For a business, the interest on a premium funding facility is generally treated as a deductible expense in the same way as other finance costs. It depends on your circumstances, so confirm the treatment with your accountant before relying on it.
A quote usually comes back within one business day of receiving the invoice. Once you're happy with the schedule, the agreement is signed electronically and the funder settles directly with the insurer or broker.
Usually no — but some Clients like to pay a deposit, and this can be arranged. Whatever applies to your facility is shown on the quote before you commit to anything.
Attach the invoice or statement and we'll come back with a funding schedule. Or just call — that works too.
Attach the document and we'll do the rest.
We'll come back to you within one business day.
Tell us when your cover falls due and we'll get in touch a few weeks out with a funding schedule ready to go — no chasing on your side.
