Trade Credit Insurance
for safer growth.

Trade Credit Insurance protects your business when customers fail to pay for goods or services supplied on credit terms. It is designed for businesses that sell business-to-business and want stronger protection over trade receivables.

Cover can respond to non-payment caused by insolvency, protracted default, refusal to pay, and in some cases specified political events, helping you protect cash flow while continuing to trade.

What Trade Credit Insurance can help with

Protection is only part of the value. The right policy can also support growth, competitiveness, and stronger credit control.

Bad debt protection

Reduce the financial impact when an insured customer cannot or will not pay.

Cash-flow resilience

Protect receivables so one large unpaid invoice does not destabilise your business.

Smarter credit decisions

Use credit insight and trading limits to make more informed decisions on exposure.

Confident expansion

Trade domestically or internationally with more confidence when offering credit terms.

How it works

A typical Trade Credit Insurance arrangement combines bad debt protection with ongoing customer risk monitoring.

Assess

Your customers are reviewed so creditworthiness and financial stability can be considered before trading limits are agreed.

Set limits

Trading limits are set for insured customers, helping define the level of covered exposure.

Trade and claim

You continue trading within policy terms, and if an insured debt is not paid, a claim can be made for the covered loss.

Built for growing firms
and established businesses.

Whether you are an SME extending credit to a smaller customer base or a larger business managing more complex exposures, we can help you find Trade Credit Insurance that fits the way you trade.
