Ensure business continuity and profitability

Trade credit insurance pays you when your clients violate their payment obligations. It offers protection against unexpected losses such as insolvency, bankruptcy, slow payment (non-payment) and political risk. Insuring your buyer portfolio is the most cost-effective way to protect yourself against non-payment.

To initiate a strong coverage strategy that works in your favour, it’s crucial to recognize from the get-go all the unforeseen threats that could potentially leave you blindsided. At BFL CANADA, our vantage point allows you to avoid those unpleasant surprises.

TOP 10 REASONS WHY BUSINESSES BUY TRADE CREDIT INSURANCE

Protection
Secure your trade and get paid on invoices for which payment has been lost due to default.
Efficiency
Make the right business decisions, improve operating efficiency and maintain profitability.
Peace of Mind
Know that your outstanding sales are secured and protected.

Trade credit insurance can be a valuable tool for companies that hold Domestic Receivables, International Receivables, or a combination of both.

 

Though not all companies wish to insure their entire buyer portfolio, a full portfolio option is the most cost-effective way to protect yourself against non-payment. Depending on your company’s needs, there are various options available to you and your business.

 

BFL CANADA offers very competitive premium financing options to our clients. For companies operating on thin profit margins it is much more important to implement preventative measures to avoid being put into a reactive situation when faced with an unexpected loss.

Example: If your company operates on a 6% profit margin and you were to incur a $50,000 loss, what amount of additional sales would you need to break even on that loss? The answer is simple: more than $800,000 in additional sales.
