Vertical Integration of Captive Premium Finance – Supports Existing and Future Operations; Helps Retain Existing Business; Helps Create New Business

"It's well known that vertical integration of related products and services when coupled with the effective use of qualified outsourced third-party administrators can provide additional benefits for agencies, brokers, MGAs, program managers, specialty insurers, banks with insurance operations", explained Wood.

"Benefits include and are not limited to:
 •   New business creation.
 •   Value added selling.
 •   Higher degree of control over the entire value chain.
 •   Time savings – reduce/eliminate hold-up problem.
 •   Maximize income and profits from company assets.
 •   Gain in market power.
 •   Improved retention of existing business.
 •   Better opportunities for investment growth through reduced uncertainty."

"Vertical integration can enable the four (4) insurance operations (insurance companies, underwriting agencies, retail agencies and premium finance) to work together better to capture premium and additional income and fees that may be generated from insurance policies sales.”  Find out more @ http://prlog.org/11090102.

"With a vertically integrated AIS-managed captive premium finance company (PFC) our Clients get the expertise and experience of AIS and the power of “Epitome”®, AIS’s premier proprietary premium finance management system,” Wood said.  “Our Clients: retail agents; Managing General Agencies (MGAs); program managers; wholesalers; brokerages; bank commercial insurance operations; specialty insurers, are able to provide flexible, cost effective, financing  and cash flow options for their existing commercial clients, themselves."

"“Own Your Own” captive premium finance enables agents to minimize the risk of losing an existing account by sending their commercial clients elsewhere for financing," Wood added. "It can also put premium financing to work for clients to create new business by making it a part of their proposal and quote process. The inclusion of premium financing for its cash flow benefit for insureds - without asking – can be value added service for existing and prospective customers.”

“Depending upon your location, your AIS-managed captive PFC y could be fully operational in less than six (6) weeks.  “Own Your Own” captive premium finance is an established, secure and proven investment,” Wood said.  “Our Clients have financed over $2 billion through their captive PFCs in the twenty-eight (28) plus years since we pioneered the concept and turned it into a viable, profitable, alternative for them."  Read more @http://www.automatedinstallment.com/forAgents_benefits.htm
