Credit Insurance
In a context of increased risk, we accompany you with credit insurance solutions to secure your clients, protect your cash flow, and preserve your margins.
A strategic lever against unpaid debts
Credit insurance is a customer risk management solution that protects companies against non-payment by their professional clients. In other words, it guarantees the payment of your commercial debts, even in the event of default or insolvency of your debtors.
This coverage is particularly useful for businesses operating in B to B, facing sometimes long payment deadlines, and wishing to protect themselves against financial losses related to payment defaults.
Credit insurance is often associated with a factoring contract that allows you to finance your accounts receivable.
What is credit insurance used for?
Credit insurance has several strategic functions for companies:
Protect oneself against unpaid bills
The contract partially or fully covers losses in case of client default. No unpleasant surprises in case of non-payment.
Access commercial information about your clients
Credit insurers have databases to evaluate the creditworthiness of prospects.
Facilitate access to financing
Factors and banks can rely on your credit insurance contract to finance your working capital requirement.
