Protecting Cash Flow and Profits

Protecting cash flow and profits against the risk of bad debts or payment delays is another issue that businesses face and which give them lack of confidence to accept new orders.

How can we help you :

Our credit protection service is a flexible and cost-effective alternative to trade credit insurance. It means that if a credit protected invoice is unpaid after 120 days past invoice due date, or your customer fails, we pay you any outstanding balance due, with no lengthy claims procedure, no additional proof of loss required and no legal fees.

  • Limits are quickly and easily requested, set up and viewed online
  • Your sales are protected above the agreed first loss, up to the credit protected limit for that customer
  • Equally effective for both local and international sales
  • May only be used in combination with our Finance and/or Credit Management services
