Trade and grow with confidence

Lenders recognise that the insolvency of a company’s key customer may jeopardise repayment of a loan. Credit insurance reduces this risk and may result in more favourable lending terms by protecting your working capital and enhancing access to credit.

Credit insurance may enable you to sell more goods on credit basis while substantially reducing the overall risk of exposure to nonpayment. It also may enable you to take advantage of peak and cyclical selling periods and to safely expand into new product lines or international markets. This includes overseas customers and domestic and export customers.

Generally, it is recognised that 20% of a firm’s buyers account for 80% of sales. Credit insurance protects against the catastrophic loss resulting from the insolvency of one of those key accounts— including protracted default, political risks, or overdue accounts.

No! The policy is flexible and can be tailored to fit your specific needs. Credit insurance covers your entire credit portfolio or only your largest key accounts — those that would create a catastrophic loss for your company if they became insolvent. You make the decision, whether that includes your debtor's ledger or selected credit limits.

Your policy covers many loss situations, ranging from bankruptcy to uncollectible accounts, including protracted default, political risks, and overdue accounts.

Although some companies have chosen to self-insure in the past, doing so now may cost you more. Under a number of tax codes, businesses can no longer use the bad debt reserve method of accounting to determine tax deductions. On the other hand, credit insurance premiums are tax-deductible, allowing you to put the cash you now have in reserves to better use while protecting your debtors ledger with debtor insurance.
