Trade Credit Insurance
Credit Insurance policies provide protection for companies against the insolvency or default of their trade credit customers, however, the benefits of credit insurance policies are not limited to indemnification of bad debts. Credit insurance underwriters invest heavily in business information as the basis to evaluate risk, helping you to grow your business in safely. Credit insurance also provides the key to additional funding by adding security to this key asset.
Political Risk Insurance
Export trade carries the additional risk that acts of government might frustrate payment on contracts correctly delivered and this is often manifested by currency regulations, currency shortage and in extreme cases by the failure of public buyers. Some underwriters will also include force majeur incidents within this insurable cause of loss.
