Payment Options Available on Professional Liability

There are several payment options available when your design firm is binding your Professional Liability policy.

Payment in full, paid to your agent directly is probably the most common option.  However, our agency works with First Insurance Funding (http://www.firstinsurancefunding.com) that enables your firm to set up financing for your Professional Liability premium.  The most common financing option is 15% down and 10 monthly installments with a varying interest rate.
