Keeping you in charge of cash flow

    Workers’ Compensation is often the largest insurance spend for employers, with significant impacts on cash flow, as many policies have upfront payment expectations, or discounts available for early payment. Premium Funding can be utilised to conserve and manage cash flow, and the interest cost is usually tax deductible. Premium Funding agreements are generally not secured by business assets, which frees up working capital to allow you to get on with running your business, without tying up your existing facilities. Lockton can assist with organising competitive quotes for risk financing, as well as negotiations with insurers and regulators to put in place plans to reduce the burden on your business.
