A convenience service Holman Insurance Brokers Ltd. provides for their clients is arranging premium finance loans for commercial insurance coverage as an alternative and flexible way to pay for insurance.

A typical loan consists of a down payment usually 15 to 25 percent of the policy premium and subsequent payments that fully amortize the loan, in most cases over a period of 9 or 10 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Finance Insurance?
Hundreds of thousands of companies currently finance their property and casualty insurance premiums. Why?

What if my insurance company offers a free installment plan?
"Free" can be misleading. In fact you may do better if your insurance broker is able to negotiate a discount with the insurance company instead of the payment plan. A discount of 5% will normally offset the finance charge, helping you save costs on your total insurance package.

Can I pay off my loan earlier than the final due date?
