OUTSOURCING BENEFITS

Premium management outsourcing offers numerous benefits to client-agencies. Some are financially quantifiable, others can be easily recognized to increase the back office productivity or improve the agency’s overall financial position.

Quantifiable benefits:

Payroll cost savings
Additional interest earnings
Elimination of bad debts

Payroll cost savings are generated by a reduction of CSRs and accountants’ workload. Additional interest earnings are associated with the additional float resulting from the reduction of receivables turnover average ratio from 12 to 1. Additional cost reduction due to the elimination of bad debts is the result of total elimination of earned premium liability during the premium collection process.

Not directly quantifiable benefits:

Better cash flow
Less working capital requirements
Less E&O risk exposure
Higher retention ratio
Better agency-client relationship
Better agency-carrier relationship
