Pages in this SectionWhat is trade credit insurance?
Trade credit insurance is a policy that protects your business from financial loss if a customer fails to pay you for goods or services.
Unlike invoice insurance which covers individual invoices, trade credit insurance covers your whole customer ledger. If a client goes bust or defaults, you’ll be paid by your insurer, giving you the confidence to trade and grow with less risk.
