Credit insurance protects your business against the risk of bad debts. Trade debtors can represent up to 40% of a company’s assets, so bad debt can ruin an otherwise profitable business.
Often referred to as trade credit insurance or trade debtor insurance, this type of cover protects a company from the risk of non-payment after its goods or services are delivered to another business.
Most policies can also give you access to financial information on your customers, allowing you to develop relationships with only the most successful and financially secure businesses.
