Trade Credit Insurance

Trade Credit Insurance

As a business owner, offering goods and services to customers can leave you in a vulnerable position if one or more of them don’t pay.

Although you may be able to manage some of the smaller bad debts that come your way, large unexpected losses could be devastating for your business.

Trade Credit Insurance protects your business’ cash flow against losses caused by your customers’ insolvency or default on payment.

Do I need Trade Credit Insurance?

If you own any type of business or are a subcontractor and rely on customers meeting their payments on time, then you should consider getting Trade Credit Insurance.

Trade Credit Insurance is also an effective risk management tool that can:

• Protect and improve your “cash-flow”
• Enhance your balance sheet, optimise working capital and reduce the cost of finance
• Increase your sales and profitability
• Improve and strengthen your credit control and management procedures
