Atlanta-based P1 Finance continues its growth and expansion with the addition of two team members: Julia Fulford in Pre/Post-Funding Verification of Loan Processing and Layden McDaniel as Account Executive on the Agency Services Team. P1 Finance is a 37-year-old premium finance company, which became a division of Truliant Federal Credit Union earlier this year.

“We’ve actively grown our business over the past five years,” says Bill Villari, President of P1 Finance, “so the addition of these talented professionals adds bench strength to our experienced teams and ensures we continue to meet rapidly growing loan production from our treasured network of agency, intermediary and carrier partners, especially related to fast growing mid and sub mid-market agency-partners”

Fulford earned her BSBA with a focus in Finance from East Carolina University, soon thereafter becoming licensed in Property and Casualty Insurance. A COVID-era career shift saw her becoming the Operations Manager for a family business, where she wore many hats. When not examining the validity of new loans and the funding of existing P1 loans, Fulford enjoys painting, being with friends and family, and raising butterflies. 

McDaniel, previously a Merchant Services Representative at Truist, is a graduate of East Carolina University. She also has served as Commercial Account Manager and Customer Service Representative for the Winterville Insurance Agency. When not delivering “the best agency-partner premium finance experience in the world,” McDaniel spends time with her dog and enjoys music and the Cincinnati Bengals.

“Julia and Layden share P1’s client-centric commitment to service excellence,” Villari says, “With these new teammates we add bench strength, improve forward operating leverage and can continue our track record of outstanding service and consistent, sustainable loan growth.”

P1 Finance is authorized or approved to do business in all 50 states. With a mission “to provide the finest property and casualty insurance premium finance experience,” P1 says it accomplishes that via superior customer service, innovative loan structure and terms, and market-leading technology.

P1 Finance was acquired in 2015 by Villari’s team. The firm’s experienced professionals find solutions to challenges faced by independent insurance agents, reducing administrative steps for agency partners and providing better service. P1’s approach is consultative, accommodating the ever-changing needs of the agency, intermediary and carrier.
