What is Premium Finance?

Premium finance is a strategic approach where individuals use borrowed funds to pay for a portion of their life insurance premiums, specifically for cash value life insurance policies. This method is akin to taking out a mortgage to buy a larger home than your cash reserves would allow, enabling you to control a more substantial asset.
 
In premium finance, you leverage borrowed funds to invest more into a life insurance policy, which increases the policy’s value and benefits. The main objectives of this strategy include:
 
1. Increased Wealth Over Time: By investing more into your life insurance policy, you can build greater wealth through the policy’s growth.
2. Retirement Income: This strategy can generate additional income during retirement, providing financial stability.
3. Family Legacy: Enhance the wealth you pass on to your heirs, ensuring a lasting legacy.
4. Employee Benefits: Use premium finance as a tool to offer enhanced employee benefits, aiding in retention and satisfaction.
5. Business Protection: Secure the future of your business by protecting ownership and ensuring continuity.
 
Moreover, leveraging premium finance provides access to several key benefits:
 
• Death Benefit: Ensures financial security for your loved ones or covers estate taxes.
• Disability Benefits: Offers financial support if you become disabled.
• Long-Term Care Benefits: Helps cover expenses for long-term care needs.
• Tax-Deferred Growth: Your assets grow tax-deferred and can be accessed tax-free, maximizing your financial growth.
 
Premium finance allows you to optimize the financial benefits and security offered by life insurance, using borrowed funds to achieve greater long-term financial goals.
