IUL Premium Financing. Leverage capital. Build strategically.

For qualified clients, premium financing can use outside capital to help fund premiums on a large, properly structured life insurance policy — rather than providing all of the premium capital directly.

The Concept

What is premium financing?

A qualified client may borrow funds from a lender to help pay premiums on a properly designed life insurance policy. The client contributes capital according to the strategy and lending arrangement, and the policy is typically pledged to the lender as collateral.

Why Consider Premium Financing?

Strategic advantages, thoughtfully applied.

01

Capital Efficiency

Potentially use external capital to help fund premiums while preserving more of your own liquidity for other purposes.

02

Preserve Liquidity

A properly structured strategy may keep more personal or business capital available for other opportunities and obligations.

03

Large Permanent Coverage

Worth considering when there is a significant permanent insurance need and a substantial premium commitment.

04

Legacy Planning

A properly designed policy may support long-term family, estate, or generational planning objectives.

05

Business Planning

Potential applications for business owners, depending on the specific planning need and structure.

06

Strategic Flexibility

Structures can be tailored around lender requirements, policy design, collateral, interest rates, and your objectives.

Potential advantages depend on the financing terms, policy design and performance, and each client's circumstances.

The Capital Relationship

Two sources of capital. One purpose.

Client capital and lender capital work together to fund the policy premium — and the policy anchors the long-term strategy.

Client Capital

Lender Capital

Policy Premium

+ Long-Term Strategy

Client capital

Contributions, collateral, or interest payments, as the structure requires.

Lender capital

Financing provided toward premiums under the lender's terms and approval.

The policy

A permanent life insurance policy designed around protection and long-term objectives.
