Trade Credit Insurance History & Benefits
Although trade credit receivables are one of the largest assets on the balance sheet, this material credit risk has not historically been insured through insurance by North American companies. This is changing quickly with credit insurance growing between 15% and 20% per year. Companies are using trade insurance for many reasons including:
- Helps more accurately forecast bad debt costs eliminating any material one-time loss from a large customer default, deterioration of an industry segment, or a political risk event.
- Can expand sales to customers where credit limits may be restricted.
- Can improve financing arrangements with increased accounts receivable margining and lower interest rates.
- Can improve cash flow and reduce the bad debt allowance or eliminate the negative impact on earnings of adding to this reserve.
- Leverage the information, systems, people and sophisticated risk management tools of a major credit insurer that has a presence in every major market around the world.
