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.
What can be covered
- Blanket cover for your entire list of debtors
- Selective cover for single or key high value accounts
What may not be
- Personal or consumer credit (ie. not business or commercial)
- "Pay when paid" contracts
- Consignment contracts (unless agreed to by insurer)

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!

Dealt with Consolidated Insurance Brokers to sort business insurance for my mobile food van - a custom-built refrigerated setup that's not the easiest thing to insure. Debbie worked through the details with me, got it … More placed with Vero, and came back with a competitive premium that covered everything I needed: public liability, the vehicle, stock and goods in transit. She was happy to revise the quote as my requirements changed and made sure the specifics of the vehicle were captured properly. Good, straightforward service and a fair price. Happy to recommend.

After years of handling exhausting insurance administration on my own, I finally sought the assistance of an experienced insurance brokerage firm. Gina De Bonis of CIB was the perfect mix of expert professionalism and human … More warmth; being efficient, informative and a delight to deal with from the first phone call. I have a home and contents insurance policy and premium I am comfortable with knowing that there is an entire team at CIB who constantly review the insurance companies they work with. Gina has also been very quick to assist in any further questions I've had since purchasing a policy through CIB. It makes such a difference to be able to build a professional relationship with someone and contact them directly rather than ringing a generic number and speaking to a different consultant every time. I rarely provide public Google reviews but it is a pleasure to provide a 5 star review for Gina and CIB.
