What is Trade Credit Insurance?

Trade credit insurance provides a safety net for the income of businesses that offer credit payment terms to business clients. It covers your trade, so you have the certainty of getting paid if your client doesn’t pay.

By protecting your cash flow, trade credit insurance allows you to operate confidently and focus on growing and improving your business. It can also increase your borrowing capacity with banks by guaranteeing your receivables.

Trade credit insurance providers often partner with debt collection agencies, who will step in to help you recover debts, and credit check services may be offered as part of your policy benefits.

Total premiums for this type of cover start at around $10,000; so these policies are best suited to businesses with high values of credit or receivables, especially in the construction industries.

Trade Credit Claim Example

Mark is a glazier with an ongoing contract with a large commercial builder to supply and install glass in new office buildings. The builder uses their unequal bargaining power to impose 60 day payment terms on Mark.

After completing a large $75k project, Mark submits his invoice through to the builder for payment and at day 60, he doesn’t receive payment as expected.

As Mark has trade credit insurance, he contacts his insurer to notify them of the default, and they appoint their collection agency to chase the builder. Mark has peace of mind knowing he will get most of his $75k invoice paid either by the builder, or his insurer if they can’t recover within 30 days.

Not only does he avoid a long legal battle at his own expense, he can be confident of receiving his payment in a reasonable time!
