How Does It Work?

Premium Financing is a strategy whereby a qualified borrower accesses third-party financing to pay for large life insurance premiums. The insurance companies have constructed specific products for these financed plans to minimize outside collateral needs and maximize returns. This allows individuals and businesses to leverage current assets, maximizing returns via a predetermined cash flow.

 

Although every premium financing strategy is custom-made, every strategy follows a similar path:

  1. The process begins by determining insurance coverage needs and financial suitability.

  2. A preliminary case design is developed and discussed.

  3. Many variations of the design are run until the ideal plan is selected by the client.

  4. Formal insurance carrier underwriting and bank financing applications begin.

  5. The policy is issued by the insurance carrier. (The financing bank requires the owner of the policy be an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) or an LLC.)

  6. The client provides collateral to the bank in the years when the loan balance is greater than the cash value inside the policy (typically 8-12 years if the insured is under age 60). The shortfall collateral consists of cash, cash equivalents or a Letter of Credit.

  7. When approved, the bank wires the premium payment to the life insurance company.

  8. Annual reviews are conducted to evaluate insurance policy performance and ensure successful renewals.

  9. Once the policy generates cash value above the bank's loan balance, the owner can request tax-free withdrawals based on the excess cash value inside the policy. These withdrawals (i.e. loans) by the owner will be repaid with the death benefit payout.
