Why Trade Credit Insurance?
About this Webinar
Trade credit insurance is a powerful risk management tool that helps businesses protect their cash flow, safeguard profitability, and trade with confidence. In an increasingly uncertain economic environment, even long-standing customers can experience financial difficulties, leaving suppliers exposed to significant bad debt losses.
This webinar will explore how trade credit insurance works in practice, the benefits it can provide beyond debt protection, and how organisations can use it to support business growth. We will discuss policy structures, claims processes, customer credit limit management, and the valuable market intelligence and monitoring services often provided by insurers.
Whether you are a credit manager, CFO, finance professional, business owner, or risk manager, this session will provide practical insights into how trade credit insurance can help strengthen your credit strategy and protect your balance sheet.
Key topics include:
- What trade credit insurance covers (and what it doesn’t)
- Managing insolvency and bad debt risk
- Improving confidence to grow sales and enter new markets
- Credit limit assessments and ongoing customer monitoring
- Claims processes and common pitfalls
- Measuring the value of credit insurance in a New Zealand business environment
