Working Capital
Use the funds to cover your agency's daily operating expenses (e.g., rent and utilities) and to bridge cash flow gaps when carrier commissions are paid out or when business is slow. Other working capital needs might include covering unexpected expenses, such as an equipment breakdown or an office maintenance issue.
Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment
Your agency's office needs furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for daily operations. A commercial business loan from Ameris Bank can be used to purchase all types of FF&E. This includes desks, workstations, ergonomic chairs, conference tables, reception room furniture, storage cabinets, light fixtures, computers, printers, scanners, and office telephones.
Growth Initiatives
A commercial business loan from Ameris Bank is an excellent option for financing various growth initiatives for your agency. These initiatives include recruiting and hiring new licensed agents, expanding office space, launching a new or updated business website and marketing campaign, and structuring a partner buyout.
Technology Upgrades
Investing in the right technology can transform your agency by streamlining operations, enhancing customer service, and improving data security. By obtaining a commercial business loan from Ameris Bank, you can upgrade to a new or improved agency management system (AMS), implement customer relationship management (CRM) software, and acquire cybersecurity tools.
Agency Acquisition
Purchasing a property and casualty insurance agency is a capital-intensive strategic initiative. Ameris Bank can structure a commercial business loan tailored to support the acquisition of an agency and the purchase of its book of business. Additionally, you may be able to borrow against the value of your contracts.
