Sitting on a goldmine...

Finance in-house or outsource the work?

Decision time, but first you should evaluate what would work for you. Don't be too hasty in making this decision or let some fast talking salesperson convince you one way or the other.

Most want to earn the most money and compare what the workload would be. As you read we tried to show both methods. If you find we didn't cover something, email us and set us straight.

Captive premium finance companies

First we dislike the word "captive" to us it's something we would never want to happen to us. Thus, why is the word used? However, we will go along with the terminology.

This would be an insurance premium finance company as an agent would own.

We refer to this a captive premium finance operation as one where you the premium finance company owner runs and operates the business.

Now you have the choice to make, license software to run the business or enter into an agreement for a third party to do daily processing.

Outsourcing Your Premium Finance Daily Operations

The agency personnel will process financed premiums just as they do with outside finance companies. No need to train their staff or manage the daily operations.

In short with outsourcing to Evolution Inc., the agent creates a new profit center with increased earnings. Return on investment (ROI) in the 25% to 40% range which is influenced by interest rates, size of premium , cancellations, etc.

Agency will have Evolution Inc., do all the Back Office daily processing while keeping agency owners in the loop at all times including, 24/7 with Accounts .Net™ real time internet access functions. You will rapidly see increased profits without the hassle.

Agency can decide at any time to bring it back in-house where the agency staff would take over Back Office+™ daily operations by licensing Evolution's software. Contrary to some beliefs, it takes very little effort to finance your own premiums in-house. Evolution can tell you why!

Evolution naturally, after decades leading the insurance premium finance industry has the ability for you to outsource your premium finance company operations to Evolution. We have all the industry standard outsourcing agreements and skills and software (naturally) to do so and remote tools for you to monitor as you see fit.

There are some premium finance outsourcing advantages like; overhead expenses, staffing concerns, no equipment is needed, variable costs processing fee based upon volume, and Evolution brings our software vendor expertise as well as the technology for your policyholders and agents (if you finance multiple agents). Consult with us to see if outsourcing premium financing is the right choice for you.

Beware some like to try to convince, sell or scare you enough into outsourcing saying it is the only way to do premium finance. Make you worry about audits, state laws, interest calculation or late fees or any other aspects of financing premium they can get you to buy into.

Stop! Except for state audits, Evolution's software already handles the "so-called problems" in business rules within the software. Been doing it for decades. With our software state audits are no problem, we have the tools in the software to satisfy auditors, we always have.

Makes sense that they want you to do it their way, after all that is how they make money.

Spend it or keep it to reinvest, Evolution will give facts, show you the simplicity of daily operations then the decision is yours. Of course, if Evolution does your processing then we will handle state audits.

Outsourcing, what do you lose?

Control, you are doing the hardest part of the whole process, booking the premium finance contract. It's their rates and their rules.

Potential new insurance sales because now they call someone else, when it can be you when they want to find out about their payment. Me I would want every opportunity to talk to my policyholders. Keep them close.

The premium finance business is a healthy and robust industry, and agents give it away to others, at a rate of about $156 million dollars a day. Until now, premium finance software has been too expensive for some to get in the game.

Insurance agents are the backbone of one of the largest industries in the world, insurance. Agents (including general agents) have been making premium finance companies rich for many years. Agents, including general agents are the sole source of premium financing. Agents are the single most important element of the premium finance industry, so much so that companies fight for their allegiance, yet they pay a pittance to what you can really make.

Why should you do premium finance?

If you want to enter the premium finance market you must be willing to look at facts before making any decision. These loans are made without doing any credit checks on the borrowers because the loans are fully secured by the unearned portion of the premium. Premium finance companies never get social security numbers and have done tens of billions of dollars in loans. Every business day, $156 Million dollars in loans with an industry average mark off of ½ of 1% of accounts receivables is transacted.

(Prime Rate), Wells Fargo, Webster Bank, MetaBank, to name a few, finance billions of dollars of insurance premiums by themselves. read more... Why do you think these banks do it? Could it be credit card type profit returns on secured loans that don’t require credit checks? Why can’t you?

Average Mark Off

How is the industry average mark off of ½ of 1% of accounts receivable possible? Most, if not all states have laws like those listed below. It is abundantly clear that the state attorney general is more effective than any collection agency. In fact, in the last 30 years in this industry we have never heard of any premium finance company that was unable to gain satisfaction through state regulators, forcing them to appeal to the attorney general because all carriers know the law.
