Trade Credit Insurance (Credit Insurance)
Trade credit insurance (or credit insurance) pays you when your clients no longer have the ability to stand by 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.
By the same token, credit insurance also helps businesses to secure and protect outstanding sales and gain the confidence to enter new and untapped markets. It is also designed to secure receivables and enable companies to safely increase credit limits to existing clients and offer open credit terms.

For companies operating on thin profit margins, BFL CANADA can help implement preventative measures to avoid collateral damage when met with an unexpected loss.
