When you take out trade credit insurance from Credit Guarantee, you protect your accounts receivable, as you transfer the risk against non-payment of your debtors, from your business to us.
A debtor could default on a payment at any time for a vast number of underlying reasons. From a sudden change in the economy or exchange rate fluctuations that leave your customer insolvent, you need to make sure you always protect your largest asset – your accounts receivable. If your customers are unable to pay you for their credit purchases, these losses can present a crippling threat to your business.
The Benefits
At Credit Guarantee, we create our trade credit insurance policies to secure your debtors’ books, and as they are tailor-made to suit your needs, you will receive a number of important benefits:
-
Cash flow relief
If your customers become insolvent, or do not pay their bills on time, your business is covered, allowing your business to maintain its cash flow and continue operating. We protect our clients’ cash flow by replacing their cash promptly, should any customer’s insolvency or payment default occur.
Whether you’re trading with established customers or are seeking new markets, you can use trade credit insurance to protect your cash flow and balance sheet against the unexpected shock of non-payment. Contact Credit Guarantee to get a personalised quote for your business and industry.
