This is a form of finance relating to insurance:

Premium Financing involves the lending of funds to a person or company to cover the cost of an insurance premium. Premium finance loans are often provided by third party finance entity known as a “Premium Financing Company”; however insurance companies and brokerages occasionally provide premium financing services. [1]
To finance a premium, the individual or company requesting insurance must sign a premium finance agreement with the premium finance company. The loan arrangement may last from one year to the life of the policy. The premium finance company then pays the insurance premium and bills the individual or company, usually in monthly installments, for the cost of the loan.

[edit]Types of Life Insurance Premium Financing

Traditional – The client enters a fully collateralized loan arrangement with the intention of holding the life insurance policy to maturity. Traditional financing arrangements are generally purchased for estate liquidity needs and offer the most advantageous loan rates, fees, and spreads. The client may have an exit strategy using other assets in the estate. Traditional finance is particularly effective for clients who have a large but illiquid net worth.
Non-Recourse – A third party purchases insurance on the client and assumes the death benefit and premium payments. Non-recourse is not an acceptable life insurance sale in many circumstances due to a lack of insurable interest. Non-recourse transactions may pose hidden tax and liability risks to the insured.
Hybrid – Partial recourse financing that is generally designed for a short time horizon (2–5 years). Hybrid financing is typically designed for an exit via the secondary (settlement) market. Loan terms may include substantial arrangement fees (up to 2% of the death benefit), large loan spreads, and a cut of the producer’s compensation.
[edit]Benefits

There are a number of benefits to financing an insurance premium. [2] These include:
Eliminates the requirement for a large up-front payment to an insurance company.
Multiple insurance policies can be attached to a single premium finance contract, allowing for a single payment plan to cover all insurance coverage.
Premium financing is often transparent to the individual or company insured. Brokers transmit the completed premium finance agreement to the premium finance company, and the policy holder is billed as they would be for any other typical insurance policy.
Allows for clients to obtain needed coverage without liquidating other assets.
[edit]Risks and Mitigates

Factors to consider:
Interest Rate Volatility Risk – Since the interest due on the money lent to pay premiums is tied to an index, usually the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or Prime if interest rates rise, the total interest charge will rise as well. If the policy owner can’t afford to pay interest payments then they stand to lose their insurance and be left with significant debt if the surrender value of the policy is less than the balance owed. If this becomes the case the client would have not been able to pay the premiums on a non financed policy in any event so as with anything else make sure your can afford the policy. Responsible lenders take this risk into account when they do their financial underwriting.
Renewal Risk – The lender has the right to call the loan at the end of the term. Virtually all premium financing loans have terms of a duration less than the life of the policy.
Carrier Credit Rating Risk – Financing terms are sensitive to the credit rating of the carrier holding the financed policy. Carrier downgrades may result in the lender choosing to not pay additional premiums and/or call the collateral for the loan.
Crediting Rate Risk – Carriers choose the crediting rate of in-force blocks of business at-will. Current crediting rates are not guaranteed. As such, any illustrated arbitrage in interest rates between the policy crediting rate and the loan interest rate may not exist in the future.
Credit Spread Risk – Life insurance carriers and premium finance lenders use the same fundamental financial instruments. Carriers fund insurance contracts with corporate debt. Lenders provide liquidity at personal debt rates. Corporate debt yields are less than personal debt rates. As such, premium financing is necessarily a negative spread for the client financing the premiums. There is no historical support for a long-term positive arbitrage between a loan rate and a life insurance contract.
Collateral Risk – Most premium financing arrangements that are designed to provide liquidity to the client at death are 100% collateralized. In most cases, the client must either post a Letter of Credit (LOC) or hard assets to satisfy collateral. Collateral requirements may vary with economic conditions and could force the client to liquidate positions in order to post collateral. Furthermore, a decrease in the value of collateralized assets (such as real estate or securities) may force additional collateral.
Settlement Risk – Some premium financing programs are sold under the assumption that the policy will have a substantial market value at the end of the term. The client can then exit financing arrangement and realize a gain on investment. The secondary life insurance market is highly volatile. Settlement offers will vary with the interest rate environment and the degree to which capital will “wait” for a return.
[edit]Current Environment

Premium financing arrangements are currently under intense pressure. Lenders often obtain capital from hedge funds and private sources, which are particularly sensitive to convulsions in the credit markets. Many lenders have ceased financing or added substantial fees to new programs. In-force financed policies are being called for collateral in large numbers. Clients who are “underwater,” where the loan balance exceeds the policy cash value, are being forced to post additional collateral at low risk-weighted rates and/or surrender the policies and pay the outstanding loan balance out of pocket. Additionally, several carriers who were active in the financing marketplace have been downgraded, causing large-scale exchanges or surrenders from in-force policies.
Hybrid arrangements that planned for a settlement exit are also coming undone. Settlement investors are severely discounting financed policies, especially from carriers with falling credit ratings.

Insultec heat reflective paint, when applied to roofing areas, lowers the inside temperature of buildings, which means less use of electricity to run cooling systems which in turn will contribute to the reduction in global warming. A win, win situation for everyone.

Developed in Australia this unique composite, forms a membrane which is capable of re-radiating 90% of infrared and 85% of ultra violet rays back into the atmosphere. Temperature readings on the underside areas of roofing not treated with the heat reflective paint were recorded at 55.8C whereas areas under the same roof at the same time recorded temperature readings of 38C.

Other tests have recorded a rise in temperature of only 1oC on the surface treated with the heat reflective roof paint and in the same conditions a rise in temperature of 19C on the untreated surface.

The amount of heat re-radiated back into the atmosphere, means there is less heat left on the roof surface to be conducted through the roofing material into the air, or even insulation material on the interior of the roof. Reducing the heat available to be transferred means that the air touching the roof or insulation material will not warm up to the higher temperatures that untreated roofs create.

Roof paints can be applied to large or small areas of roofing made of almost any material – metal, asbestos, asphalt, fibreglass, timber, concrete, shingle. A particularly successful application of this membrane is the treatment of large industrial and commercial structures resulting in premises experiencing much lower internal temperatures. Significant reduction of inside temperatures, produces less, or in many cases, no need for additional ventilation from fans and extractors, or even portable air-cooling systems.

Insultec Reflective Paint is a water based co-polymer paint compounded of inert pigments and special fillers. Because it is applied in liquid form the heat reflective paint is also able to bridge hairline cracks and gaps up to 1.6mm, increasing the water proof capability of the existing roof. Creating a membrane over the area of application the heat reflective coatings from Insultec are available in a range of colours, both light and dark. As per the laws of physics, it is highly recommended that a lighter shade be used, rather than a dark one, to enhance the reflective ability of the membrane.

Using Insultec, Heat Reflective Paint will make a huge difference to the inside temperature of any building, a huge difference to electricity usage, and in turn contribute to the worldwide drive to reduce Global warming.
