Our Financing Solutions

Our flexible premium financing includes multiple benefits for our clients and the business owners they insure. From immediate commission collection, superior account receivable ratios, and reduced billing expenses to enhanced service for your customers and the opportunity for increased annual income, the value of working with IPFS is endless.

 

As a privately held premium finance company with more than 47 years of experience, our clients receive unrivaled professional care and service. While premium finance programs rely on a range of variables, we may be able to offer financing for fully earned policies, audits, bonds, and retrospective-rated policies.

 

Sample terms for commercial policy financing might be:

25% down and 9 monthly payments or

15% down and 10 monthly payments

A Strategic Ally in Premium Financing

Insurance agents, agencies, and underwriters collaborate with IPFS to offer financing solutions to business owners seeking insurance coverage. As a privately held company, IPFS is able to provide custom solutions to fit the needs of our customers in ways other lenders cannot.

One way we provide a competitive edge is with our quick, easy approval process with competitive rates and terms. 

Policyholder arranges insurance through agency
Agency creates a quote using ipfs.com to generate a premium finance agreement
Policyholder signs premium finance agreement and pays down payment
Insurance premium is funded by IPFS in accordance with the premium finance agreement
Policyholder repays IPFS in installments for loan

Because the purchase of insurance premiums does not require financing, the cost of the desired coverage is the same whether your policyholder decides to finance the premium or not.

The loan length depends on several variables. Typical agreements use either a nine-month or ten-month installment.
