What is Trade Credit Insurance
Trade Credit Insurance: Your B2B Sales’ Safety Net!
Think of trade credit insurance as having a backup payment system that kicks in when customers decide “payment due” means “payment never!” It’s comprehensive protection against buyer insolvencies, payment defaults, and political risks that turn profitable sales into expensive lessons.
Whether you’re exporting garments to Europe or supplying machinery across India on credit, trade credit insurance ensures that trusting customers doesn’t mean risking your cash flow. It’s like having a wealthy relative who pays your customers’ bills when they can’t—minus the awkward family dinners!
Why Is This Policy Vital for B2B Businesses
Because B2B Stands for “Beware Bad Bills!”
Indian exporters face ₹45,000 crore in annual bad debts, with SME default rates hitting 8-12%. One major customer bankruptcy can wipe out entire year’s profits. Trade credit insurance is the difference between “growth through credit sales” and “bankruptcy through customer defaults.” It’s survival insurance for trust-based B2B commerce!

FAQ's
What percentage of debt is typically covered?
Usually 80-90% of outstanding invoices are covered. You keep some "skin in the game" to encourage smart credit decisions!
Are domestic and export sales covered differently?
Yes! Export policies include political risks; domestic policies focus on commercial insolvency. Different worlds, different coverage!
How long is the waiting period before claims?
Typically 90-180 days for protracted default; immediate for declared insolvency. Patience required before payday!
Can small businesses afford trade credit insurance?
Absolutely! Premiums are 0.1-0.5% of turnover - cheaper than losing one major customer to bankruptcy!
Are disputed invoices covered?
Nope! Quality disputes and delivery arguments are excluded. Insurance covers "can't pay," not "won't pay disputes!"
How are customer credit limits determined?
Insurers assess buyer financials, payment history, and market intelligence to set safe credit limits per customer!
