Textron Financial's Finance Company Services Finalizes $5 Million Asset Purchase Program WithTWG Capital, Inc.

COLUMBUS, OH -A division of Textron Financial Corporation, Finance Company Services ("FCS") has closed and begun funding under a $5 million asset purchase program with TWG Capital, Inc. FCS is a specialized financial service company focused on meeting the needs of the middle market, independent lending community.

Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, TWG is an early stage specialty finance company serving the needs of insurance agents, primarily those selling long-term care ("LTC") policies. TWG accelerates agent cash flows by purchasing future renewal commission streams owed to agents from insurance carriers, valuing these streams through the use of sophisticated actuarial models. This "discounting" of the future expected commission streams provides working capital for growth, can fund acquisitions or even allow agents to retire early.

The agreement with FCS will provide TWG additional financial firepower to enhance its ability to deliver its unique service to its clients. "TWG has created financial solutions to accelerate agents' income streams and FCS provides the raw material that enables TWG to do just that," said Jim Wallace, TWG President. "As the TWG Capital concept grows in popularity, so does our need for capital availability. Getting money out the door to agents is our business and FCS is helping us achieve that mission."

"TWG is a pioneer in the business of helping insurance agents and agencies monetize future expected cash flows," said Mark D. Quinlan, president of FCS. "We are pleased to partner with such an innovative organization."
