Trade Credit Protection Services
Enable your global growth by quickly converting your invoices to cash, safely extending open credit terms to new or international buyers and reducing collection costs.
Offer more competitive terms without the increased credit risk.
Even though offering credit terms can be financially rewarding, it can be a risky business. If a customer is forced to close up shop or there’s a political event that puts your assets at risk, it can cripple your profits if you’re not prepared. By using trade credit protection services to safeguard your receivables against insolvency, bankruptcy or protracted default, you can accept larger domestic and export orders knowing you’re guaranteed payment.
Trade credit protection services are multi-purpose business tools that do more than just protect a company from a bad-debt loss. Protected receivables are viewed by lending institutions as safer collateral, so you may be able to get a larger loan at better rates. Plus, it gives you the business intelligence you need to:
- Make better customer credit decisions
- Build long-lasting relationships by offering open account terms
- Increase customer sales by offering more credit to your customers
- Qualify potential customers’ credit before tradeshows without the additional risk
