Important update
    Changes to future finance agreements

    Due to some business changes, a number of customers won’t be able to take out finance agreements with Close Brothers to cover the cost of their insurance policies in the future. This change will not happen immediately, and we will be working with brokers over the next 6-12 months to organise a smooth transition. This does NOT impact any current finance agreements OR existing insurance policies.

    Good business for your commercial lines customers – and you

    We offer premium finance at a fixed interest charge, meaning your customers can budget for the cost of their insurance easily – and for the entire period of the policy. For most businesses, the finance can also increase the health of a business’s balance sheet through being classified as off-balance sheet financing (OBS).
