Insurance premiums can be a significant annual expense for businesses. Premium funding lets you pay in monthly instalments — freeing up cash flow for your core operations.
Insurance premium funding (IPF) is a short-term loan that pays your annual insurance premiums upfront, allowing you to repay the amount in monthly instalments — typically over 10 to 12 months.
Instead of paying one large lump sum at renewal time, you make smaller, predictable monthly payments. This preserves your working capital and keeps your business cash flow healthy.
Premium funding is available for virtually all types of business insurance including professional indemnity, public liability, workers compensation, property insurance, motor fleet, and more.
Public liability, professional indemnity, product liability, and general business insurance packages.
Spread your workers comp premiums into monthly payments — particularly valuable for labour-intensive businesses.
Contract works, construction liability, and builder's warranty insurance — often the largest annual costs for builders.
Commercial motor vehicle insurance for fleets of any size — from a few vehicles to hundreds.
Essential coverage for professionals — doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers, and consultants.
Commercial property, landlord insurance, strata insurance, and property owner's liability.

We submit your premium funding application — typically approved within 24 hours with minimal paperwork.
The premium funder pays your insurer the full annual premium upfront, so your coverage is immediately active.
You repay the funded amount in equal monthly instalments over 10–12 months, plus a small funding charge.
The total cost of premium funding (the interest/funding charge) is typically 3–8% of the annual premium. For many businesses, this is a small price to pay for improved cash flow management.
The funding charge is typically between 3–8% of the annual premium, depending on the funder, your premium amount, and the term. For a $10,000 annual premium funded over 10 months, the total cost would be approximately $300–$800 in funding charges — a small price for improved cash flow.
Premium funding is generally easier to obtain than other forms of business finance because the insurance policy itself acts as security. Most applications are approved based on the insurance being with a licensed Australian insurer, rather than detailed credit assessment.
If you cancel your insurance policy, any refund from the insurer is first applied to repay the outstanding premium funding balance. Any remaining refund is returned to you.
Yes. Many businesses bundle multiple insurance policies into a single premium funding arrangement — for example, combining public liability, professional indemnity, and property insurance into one monthly payment.
Premium funding is primarily designed for business insurance. Personal insurance policies (such as home and contents, personal motor, or health insurance) are generally not eligible for premium funding.
