Trade Credit

Cover for the invoice that never gets paid.

Why it exists

Selling on credit helps a business grow. It also means your cash flow depends on other people paying on time, and even long-standing customers can default without warning.

When it makes sense

  • You are extending credit to new or existing customers and want to do it safely
  • A handful of buyers make up most of your turnover
  • You are exporting to markets you do not know well
  • You want your receivables off the worry list

What it covers

  • Insolvency. Your buyer goes into bankruptcy or liquidation with payments outstanding.
  • Protracted default. Your buyer is significantly late on payment without any dispute.
  • Political risk. For exporters: currency transfer restrictions, expropriation, political violence, and contracts frustrated by government action.

More than a payout

Insured receivables also tend to unlock better terms from banks and financiers, and policies can come with credit intelligence on your buyers and support with international debt collection. Cover can apply to a single buyer, a customer segment, or your entire ledger.
