Frequently Asked Questions

The history of failing companies shows that even clients you think you know, and have worked with for a long time, may face financial difficulties and stop settling their invoices. And sometimes it's too late when you find out. That’s why you have to cover your entire client portfolio to reduce this risk. However, turnover with affiliated companies, public companies or individuals is excluded from your policy and, it follows, from your rate base. You tell us about the turnover to be covered domestically and / or abroad when asking for the quote.

We have a full range of options so we can design your trade credit insurance contract together: it is tailor-made for your business or the structure or governance inside your organisation. We will make sure our solution meets your specific coverage needs.

If your client is pleading a commercial dispute to avoid paying you, our collection managers will check that they are not acting in bad faith as a way to conceal their inability to pay. If the dispute is genuine and bona fide, your coverage will not be canceled but our collections will be suspended until you and your customer have resolved the dispute. The guarantee is reactivated once the dispute has been resolved, and the invoice can be indemnified if the customer is unable to settle it.
