Introduce the systematic analysis of the customer portfolio (account receivables):

To reduce commercial risk, a global company can boost its knowledge of its current and potential customers by taking out international trade credit insurance. This type of policy doesn’t just provide insurance on outstanding invoices and late payments, it also includes provision for credit risk evaluations and analysis that gives you a better understanding of account receivables. Your company’s clients are assessed on the basis of their payment history, balance sheets, turnover, growth potential, industry, worldwide operations, and all the information Coface has at its disposal.

If there is an alert on one of your clients, we send you red flags, meaning you can make any decision in full possession of the facts.

International trade credit insurance means that your company is better placed to decide whether to grant credit, fine-tune payment terms or draw up a sales approach. There is an overall reduction in credit risk, your account receivables are managed more expertly, and the risk of outstanding invoices or late payments is cut.
