Icône protection de la trésorerie

1. Protect your company against unpaid invoices

Secure your revenue against customer defaults.

Trade credit insurance indemnifies you in the event of insolvency or non-payment and allows you to anticipate deteriorations in your debtors’ creditworthiness.

It enables you to:
• Cover unpaid invoices linked to bankruptcy or insolvency
• Manage extended payment delays
• Benefit from continuous monitoring of your customers
• Protect your margins and operating profit
• Stabilise your cash flows

→ Your customer risk becomes measurable, controlled and insurable.

2. Strengthen your financing capacity

A secured receivables portfolio reassures your financial partners.

Trade credit insurance improves how banks and factors perceive risk and facilitates access to financing.

It enables you to:
• Obtain higher factoring lines
• Improve financing conditions
• Reduce the need for additional collateral
• Optimise working capital management
• Secure financial ratios in LBO environments or under covenants

→ A covered risk becomes a financing lever.

Situations where trade credit insurance makes a difference.
