How the HERCULES Funding Arrangement Works

Instead of treating insurance and contract-risk control as separate expenses, qualifying organisations may be able to use the value generated from their insurance placement to fund the HERCULES Programme.

Step 1

Review

The organisation's construction contract-insurance requirements are reviewed.

Step 2

Placement

Where suitable, qualifying insurance requirements are placed through the relevant appointed or authorised insurance channel.

Step 3

Eligibility Confirmation

The available remuneration, commission or other permitted funding arrangement is assessed.

Step 4

HERCULES Activation

Where sufficient and permitted, the available funding is applied towards the agreed HERCULES Programme fee, resulting in no separate programme fee or a reduced programme fee for the client.

Important notice: The precise arrangement depends on the insurance programme, applicable regulations, commercial terms and written confirmation. HERCULES funding eligibility depends on the nature and value of the qualifying insurance placement, applicable regulatory requirements, commercial terms and written confirmation. Insurance placement is subject to insurer acceptance and the involvement of the relevant authorised insurance intermediary. This does not constitute an offer or binding commitment. Eligibility will be reviewed upon submission of the required information.
