Use Trade Credit Insurance to protect cash flow and receivables, find out how it works and how we provide tailored risk management solutions for bigger companies.
Exclusively for organizations operating across 2+ countries with business turnover over £500 million, our expert team knows and will adapt according to your complex financial structures.

Trade credit insurance protects your accounts receivable against the risk of non-payment due to insolvency or protracted default, while giving your business the insight and confidence to grow revenues with new and existing business customers.

Acting as an early warning system for potential payment issues, trade credit insurance allows you to trade safely with new customers, trade more with existing customers and expand to new sectors or export markets.

We start by assessing the creditworthiness and financial stability of your customers, in order for us to underwrite safe credit limits on them, with risk coverage up to the agreed limit.

We provide regular updates on those trading limits, adjusting them based on changing conditions. And we support your business growth by repeating this process for new customers.

In the event you tell us about a non-payment for an insured customer, we investigate, and if policy terms are met, we indemnify you for the insured amount.

Any business that sells goods or services on credit terms to other businesses can benefit from trade credit insurance. This includes businesses of all sizes and all industries, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large multinational corporations.
Trade credit insurance covers your business against the risk of non-payment by your customers due to insolvency, protracted default, or, where applicable, certain political events.
The cost of trade credit insurance is based on a number of factors including the size and nature of your business, the creditworthiness of your customers and the trading limits you need.

It’s calculated for your business and the way you trade and is based on a percentage of your sales, generally a fraction of 1%. So, if your sales were £2 million last year and you wanted to cover that entire amount, the premium would usually be less than £10,000. But remember, premiums can go up or down from year to year.

What is export credit insurance? Export credit insurance helps companies remain competitive by offering open terms when letters of credit or prepayment may have previously been the only safe way to do business. In fact, foreign companies buy an average of 40 percent more when they are offered open terms, according to the World Trade Organization. Export credit insurance providers protect your sales from political risks, including import/export changes and foreign government intervention. Few companies can effectively compete without extending credit to their buyers. For exporters, getting trade credit insurance levels the global playing field. Working with new countries means dealing with new cultures and new opportunities to access new markets and customers. Businesses must know to manage the associated credit risks that come with exporting products or services.
