Selling on credit terms – are you in control of your risk?
Offering credit terms when selling your goods or services is a natural part of the business model for most companies. It makes you an attractive business partner, and it enhances your competitiveness. At the same time, trading on credit terms is an important element in the creation of financing in the overall economy.
The world is an uncertain place – this is why your company needs certainty
If we were ever in doubt, then this is not the case anymore. The world is in a constant state of change. What was true yesterday is not necessarily true tomorrow. The fact that you have never experienced losses on your trade receivables, is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Nothing is 100% safe.
What happens in both our near and distant environment has an impact on the business environment in which we operate – and it affects the customers that we do business with. In the world of Credit Insurance, these dynamics are well understood, and often it is possible to predict and handle the impact this will have on markets, trading sectors and individual companies.

Losses and cashflow in your company
When trading on credit terms, you assume a considerable financial risk. If your customer does not pay, you will suffer a loss. At the same time, you risk a critical strain on your cashflow.
Trade receivables constitute a considerable part of many companies’ total assets. How are you secured against losses on this important asset?
Do you have the resources to handle the administrative burden?
