Why should they when they can borrow the money from a third party? If they earn 10% in their business why not borrow funds at 6% to pay premium?

Also, someone mentioned targets earlier. In my experience targets average about $500k and some get well above seven figures.

Hope this adds value.

Was that a trick question? What policy is paying 10% this year, and where can I borrow at 6%?

He said they make 10% return on their personal business a year, so its better value of dollar if they borrow at 6% they can make their money earn 10%. Hard stretch to get traditional financing at 6% but under 10% is still possible.

As Newtw will probably tell you it is not that hard to get a rate below 6%. Traditional premium finance rate are around LIBOR + 100bps to 300bps depending on type of collateral and loan size.

Last I checked 1 year LIBOR was at 3.13% so an interest rate of 4%-5% is not uncommon.

This is what makes traditional Premium Financing so attractive to some people. There is a definite arbitrage opportunity between the rate of return in a personal business or investment and premium financing rates.

Ah, but not that simple. It will depend on a number of things, including the amount financed.

Still wondering who has best loan rates right now!
