Trust LITCO For Life Insurance Premium Financing

What Is Life Insurance Premium Financing?

Life insurance premium financing is a strategy under which a life insurance client can purchase their life insurance with a loan. The loan is equivalent to the amount of money they surrender. Wealthy individuals who qualify can thus purchase large life insurance policies without tapping into any of their personal cash flow or business funds. These individuals can then retain capital for other investments that they believe will outperform the cost of the third-party financing. 

Prospects for these strategies include privately held business owners, corporate executives, hedge fund managers, private equity executives, real estate owners, entrepreneurs, and successful physicians. They all work with specialized life insurance advisors in conjunction with insurance carriers that have developed products tailored to the strategy.
