What does Credit Insurance offer?

Credit insurance provides you with security and certainty of collection. In the modern foreign trade environment, companies are exposed to many risks in the performance of their business. Certainty that the receivables from export and domestic business will be collected is a precondition for normal business and planning, and sustainable growth.

Receivables are your property – don’t take risks!

If you want to raise competitiveness, enter new markets and increase the number of buyers, you must offer your clients the option of deferred payment.
BUT, selling your products and/or services with deferred payment puts you at risk of losing a part of your property and jeopardising your business.
If responsible business is your objectives, credit insurance enables you certainty of collection and a reliable partner in risk management.

How can you ensure secure and stable business by insuring receivables?

We have successfully carried on credit insurance business for more than 10 years. From our experience, there are no sure buyers. When you make a deal with a foreign or domestic buyer with deferred payment, there is always a risk that you will not be paid for the goods delivered or services provided.

Credit insurance provides you with a service tailor-made to your business if you want:

  • To protect your business by transferring non-payment risk to us, as your insurer;
  • To offer deferred payment to buyers;
  • To raise competitiveness;
  • To expand to new markets and increase the number of buyers;
  • To improve sales;

What are the benefits from credit insurance?

  • Prevention, in terms of buyers’ analysis, coverage of buyers from all continents;
  • A significant improvement in competitiveness on account of sales with deferred payment, lower costs compared to other forms of collaterals;
  • Constant monitoring of existing and potential buyers;
  • The ability to expand sales to new markets;
  • Higher revenues and profitability;
  • Security by transferring non-payment risk to the insurer, payment of claims, which indicates that you manage risks responsibly;
  • Improved liquidity;
  • Better access to financing options.

If the buyer does not pay you, and you are not insured, can you afford the loss?

Unforeseen events and changes in the market may bring even the buyers you have done business with for years to a situation where they are unable to settle their liabilities.

If your profit margin is 5%, to cover an outstanding receivable of just EUR 10,000, you need to raise your income by EUR 200,000.

  • Non-commercial risks.
