Funding & Risk Financing

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.

    Inside Risk: Aerosols – managing the property fire risk

    Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace. However, aerosols can also contain flammable substances as well as pressurised flammable propellants, such as propane or butane which can easily ignite and lead to rapid fire spread. In a fire, containers can rupture, producing jets of flame and projectiles, spreading the fire, and making firefighting more difficult. The smoke from the resulting fire can pose additional health risks. Robust property loss controls are therefore needed to manage the storage and handling of aerosols.Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace.
