Entity / Formal Step 4
Entity Set-up & Formal Application
Once HBC receives the tentative health offer, we will email this to you. This will include the potentially updated case design and formal application. You can go over the new numbers from the case design with your client if they have changed.
The tentative health offer typically takes 1-2 weeks to be received from the moment that we have the:- Signed Informal App
- Signed HIPAA form
- Medical Records ordered and received
- The Paramed exam scheduled
Formal applications will be partially pre-filled by HBC to ensure accurate information. You will see in the compensation section for the carrier that 1% is listed. This is NOT your total compensation amount. This is the amount paid from the carrier. You will also be compensated by HBC per your contract specification.If the client agrees to move forward after reviewing their updated case design (if it has changed), you will now need to move forward with getting an entity set-up to be the owner and beneficary of the policy.
Single Purpose LLC
A majority of clients choose an LLC. HBC can assist in creating the LLC for a $275 fee (in addition to state fees).
Special Purpose Trust
You can also create a special purpose trust. Consult an attorney to have this drafted.
Payment Options for LLC:
Once the Entity is set-up-
Return Signed Formal Application
This is the main application from the Insurance Carrier. Once this is filled out, the formal approval can begin.

Financing Step 5
Financing & Final Policy Documents
The insurance carrier must now approve the application. This can take anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks depending on the application.
If the insurance carrier approves the application, then financing must be secured. If financing is approved, which normally takes around 1 week, then loan documents will be sent to be signed and the policy is funded and delivered.
