If you’ve felt this stress before, then I have a simple recommendation that may interest you: Insurance-Premium Funding.

- - Fixed monthly instalments – providing
cashflow certainty. - - Ability to consolidate different insurance premiums on the
one-finance contract, regardless of when the premiums fall due. - - Interest repayments may be tax-deductible.
- - Free up your
cashflow to use elsewhere in your business. - - Allows you to afford the most appropriate level of insurance to protect your business.
