IF YOU ARE A FUNDING BROKER, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER REPRESENTING US!
Profran Capital Group in association with LIFE POLICY ASSETS offers you the opportunity to participate in a coordinated effort to assist entrepreneurs in an alternative way to achieve their funding objectives by using life settlements to collateralize an investor’s capital in a loan. Although the investor is not provided the policies which are held by the entrepreneur usually in a trust account overseen by a trustee or custodian, the fact still remains the investor’s money is secure. Our current brokers working with us are receiving a very generous remuneration for their participation.
The real benefits are for the entrepreneur who borrows the money from the investor on a specific interest amount and time frame. The life settlement policies are actually insurance policies form senior that are above 75 years old and have a life expectancy from 5 to 7 years according to actuarial formulas obtained for purposes of evaluation of the policies. By purchasing the policies the entrepreneur can use the money from the policy “payout” to pay back the loan regardless of whether the entrepreneurs business venture is successful or not.
Since there is a great deal of education, information and training involved in learning this particular way of achieving funding for entrepreneur, we also offering a training program in Orlando, Florida on a scheduled basis. We have tested this procedure and program with a select few and have already experience remarkable successes. The brokers we have worked with are telling us they had no idea life settlements were as powerful and beneficial as they are learning.
If you are interested, call (407) 363-3545 or e-mail info@profrancapitalgroup.com and someone will speak with you about our program.
