Credit insurance

What is Credit Insurance?

Imagine the repercussions on your business if one or more of your main customers or contracts failed to pay a sizeable invoice, perhaps following bankruptcy.

Credit Insurance protects businesses should a debtor become insolvent or fail to pay a long outstanding debt; it can also keep track of the credit strength of your customers and suppliers.

Your most valued customers or contracts may appear strong, but behind the scenes, they may be in debt, unable to pay your bill and ready to fold. When would you find out? Probably when it is too late to get your money.

Credit insurance will minimise the risk to your business by monitoring the credit rating of your customers, recovering debts and paying you should the debt be irrecoverable.

Suppose your business is dependent upon regular cashflow or a handful of major customers. In that case, you need to give credit insurance serious consideration as part of your disaster recovery and risk management review.
