- Maintains your cash flow.
- Facilitates your loan repayments.
Business growth and expansion
When your receivables are insured you:
- Grow your business as you increase your sales to existing customers or add new ones.
- Expand in new international markets as you reduce your export risk.
- Lower your doubtful debt reserve and free up funds to support your growth plans.
Access to financial information
Gain access to financial information about the companies you do business with and your potential customers.
This way, you can choose more reliable customers in the future and keep tabs on your existing ones.
Easier access to bank financing
Lower the credit risk for the bank and gain easier access to financing. This means you benefit from:
- More favourable lending terms
- Increased financing
What it covers
For wholesale businesses
The coverage is exclusive to wholesale transactions, with trade credit extended to other businesses.
Up to 90% of the claim
With the basic coverage, you are compensated to 70% of the value of each claim, up to the maximum compensation for each of your customers.
If you want to increase the coverage against any of your customers, you can request advanced coverage up to 90%.
What’s the premium and how you pay it
<1% of the turnover
The premium is generally less than 1% of your sales and calculated based on your activity and the way you conduct business transactions.
For example, if your sales in the previous year were €2 million and you want to cover your entire turnover, the premium would be a little less than €20,000.
The premium may increase or decrease from year to year. It is affected by any claims you have made in the past, the customers you do business with and the sector you operate in.
By standing order
Pay the premium by standing order from the account you choose when you apply. Alternatively, you can set up a standing order on your credit or debit card.
