These loans are generated through independent insurance agencies. When we provide an insurance loan, the borrower pays a down payment equal to at least two months earned premium to Standard. Standard then advances payment for the policy in full to the insuring company. This down payment typically provides the equity to cover any earned premium from the inception date of the policy until the earliest possible time the policy can be canceled.

Upon executing the loan, the borrower assigns his or her rights to any and all unearned premiums and dividends to Standard. The borrower further agrees to appoint Standard as his or her attorney in fact. This power of attorney gives us the right to cancel the policy in the event of non-payment and to receive all unearned premiums and credits. Thus, the unearned premium in the insurance policy provides Standard with the collateral for each loan.

In most states, admitted insurance companies contribute to and are covered under a guarantee association. These state-administered associations are typically funded through assessments of insurance companies writing premiums in that state. In the unlikely event of an insurance company insolvency, these funds provide payment of loss claims and/or unearned premiums to the insured or its assignees or designates. When an insurance policy is financed, the unearned premium is returned directly to Standard.

Our target market includes the personal and small commercial lines of insurance with premiums usually under $100,000. This multi-billion dollar a year segment of the industry provides the financing for policies purchased by insureds unable to obtain insurance through the large standard carriers, such as State Farm, Allstate, or Travelers.

Since commencing operations in 1991, Standard’s accounts receivable has grown to over $30 million. The Company has established a group of loyal agents supplying it with a regular flow of business. The Company continues to grow by delivering quality service and providing personal attention.
