Insurance Premium and Hurricane Deductible Financing for Florida Associations
Yes, a Florida association can finance a large insurance premium or a hurricane deductible rather than draining its reserves or charging owners all at once. Samtov Finance funds these loans starting at $50,000 with no maximum, and approvals can come in as little as 24 hours. Florida's insurance costs and storm deductibles have risen sharply, and financing lets an association spread the cost over time while keeping coverage in place and repairs moving.
Can we finance our association's insurance premium?
Yes. Samtov provides financing that lets an association spread a large annual insurance premium over time instead of paying it in a single lump sum. This preserves reserves and avoids a sudden charge to owners.
Can we finance a hurricane deductible?
Yes. Hurricane deductibles in Florida can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, which an association must cover before insurance pays out. Samtov financing covers that out-of-pocket gap so repairs can start quickly after a storm.
Why finance insurance costs instead of using reserves?
Many associations prefer to keep reserves intact for structural obligations and future projects. Financing the premium or deductible lets the association meet the immediate cost without depleting funds it may soon need elsewhere.
Why not just charge owners a special assessment?
A large lump-sum assessment can push owners into hardship and delinquency. A loan spreads the same cost across manageable payments, so the association keeps coverage and handles the deductible without an immediate burden on owners.
How fast can we get funded?
For well-documented applications, approvals can come in as little as 24 hours, with funding shortly after. This speed matters after a storm, when repairs and coverage cannot wait.
How much can we borrow?
Samtov funds loans starting at $50,000 with no maximum, so both a single annual premium and a large post-storm deductible can be financed.
What if our association has weaker finances?
Samtov underwrites on the association's cash flow and the situation, so associations that a bank would slow down or reject can still qualify when repayment is supportable. This includes associations that are small, self-managed, high in delinquency, or low on reserves.
What can this financing cover?
Common uses include annual insurance premiums, premium increases, and hurricane or windstorm deductibles that must be paid before an insurance claim is settled.
How is the loan secured?
The loan is secured by the association's assessment income. There is no personal guarantee from board members or individual owners.
What do we need to apply?
Financial statements, the current annual budget, a delinquency and aging report, and the insurance invoice or the claim and deductible details. Having these ready is the biggest factor in how fast funding comes together.
