Credit Insurance FAQs

Question

Why do I need credit insurance?

Answer

Suffering a bad debt can cause a business to fail, so credit insurance is well worth considering if you sell a product or service to businesses on credit terms. For instance, if your profit margin is 5% and you suffer a £25,000 bad debt, you will need to increase sales by £500,000 just to recoup the lost profit from that bad debt.

  • Customer Insolvency – Administration, receivership, bankruptcy and liquidation.

  • Protracted Default – Client non-payment of your invoices after a specified period due to lack of funds and where the debt is not disputed.

  • Political Risk – Losses arising from government intervention e.g. currency inconvertibility, cancellation of export or import licences, war and natural disaster.
