  • FAQ

    Who should get a trade credit insurance policy?

    Trade credit insurance can be suitable for companies trading on credit terms and insurers can provide cover to businesses of all sizes from SMEs to multinationals.

    If you are interested in taking out trade credit insurance you can speak to a general or specialist credit insurance broker. Their knowledge can help businesses get the most appropriate cover for their needs at the best price. Alternatively, businesses can also buy credit insurance directly from an insurer.

  • What is trade credit insurance

  • FAQ

    When does credit insurance pay out?

    Trade credit insurance will pay out a percentage of the outstanding debt to a business. This usually ranges from 75% to 95% of the amount, depending on the type of cover the business has.

  • FAQ

    Why would businesses need trade credit insurance?

    The main reason a business would take out trade credit insurance is to reduce financial implications if a customer fails to pay. Without trade credit insurance in place, many more companies would suffer large financial losses, redundancies and put the business’ existence at risk. 

    However, trade credit insurance does not just protect businesses against any losses as a result of a customer being unable to pay their debts. Trade credit insurance also:

    • Helps businesses sell to new customers that may otherwise have been deemed too risky, knowing they are insured should the customer not pay their debts.
    • Provides additional support and knowledge to help the business avoid losses in the first place and help them grow safely.
    • Provides comfort to banks that the insured has a more secure financial position than otherwise may have been the case, which may in turn enable businesses to access additional bank finance.
    • Helps secure export business, giving confidence to explore new markets and being able to offer more competitive terms.
    • Helps free up capital for the business to use elsewhere, through a reduction in their bad debt reserve (an amount businesses expect not receive because some customers fail to pay).
