AFC leading the way with insurance for Smash Repair

Business Insurance scheme for Panel Shops kicked off!

Hundreds of panel shops are interested in having their next business insurance renewal quoted with Australian Factoring Company who has partnered with a motor trades specialist Insurance Broker. 

Jane Muir, who has many years’ experience in the insurance / finance industries, heads up the new AFC Insurance Solutions division working with panel shops and the Broker to make the process of organising Business Insurance as simple as possible.

We worked hard researching the market and developing this product in 2016 and we now have our first few happy panel shops insured with the right cover and solid savings. For some promotional fun, we offered a $500 Bunnings voucher and the winner was Scott at St Kilda Village Smash Repairs. Scott was over the moon, and all it took to win was a quick chat to register his interest! says Jane.

Walter Rapoport, Director at AFC says…we spoke to hundreds of panel shops before we created this product…the feedback was that business insurance is often confusing and expensive! We now have the expertise, via our appointed specialist Broker, to genuinely assist panel shops.


AFC is Australasia's largest provider of factoring services to the panel shop industry and is developing a number of new initiatives to further service and support the industry. Insurance Solutions is just one of those new initiatives with to be released this year.

Meet the AFC team at their booth at the Collision Repair Expo 6-8 April 2017 in Melbourne.
