Help SME’s better manage their cash flow

Powered by Westpac

Spreading out the payment of expenses over the year could help your SME clients better manage their business cash flow.

Many of their current outgoings, such as salaries, rent, leases, phone, and power are generally paid in monthly or quarterly instalments. However, when it comes to business insurance, most insurers expect them to pay their premium in one lump sum – which can cause a significant strain on cash flow.

By paying their insurance premiums in instalments with Westpac’s Insurance Premium Finance, Connective asset finance brokers can help their clients free up cash flow to use elsewhere in their business.

How Insurance Premium Finance works and how it can help brokers’ clients
