Traditional premium financing generally spreads the remaining annual insurance premium over scheduled payments after a down payment is made.
Down payment financing focuses specifically on the upfront cash required to begin or renew that arrangement.
Why the distinction matters
A business may already have premium financing available but still struggle with the initial down payment.
Bottom line
CIDPF focuses on the down payment portion, not the full annual premium.
