The role of  the trade credit insurer is to keep you up-to date. The risk experts will continuously analyse each of your customers to ensure their reliability. This guarantees you safe commercial development, and help you to work with the right partners. Risk Experts will analyze the creditworthiness and financial stability of your  insurable customers and assign them a specific credit limit, which is the amount trade credit insurer will indemnify if that customer fails to pay.

When signs indicate a company is experiencing financial difficulty, you will be notified of the increased risk of selling to that debtor. An action plan will be established to mitigate and avoid loss.

If an unforeseeable loss should occur, the Trade Credit Insurer would pay you the claim benefit up to the amount defined in your policy terms.

How much does credit insurance cost?

In general , Trade credit insurance premium is calculated based on your turnover (the net sales figure you pull in as a company). Your past transaction history and the debtors with whom you are trading are also taken into account. 

When you apply for a quote, a two-part process will follow. First, the insurance company will assess the type of trade you are involved in and your overall business profile to determine a policy rate and terms. Then, the trade credit insurer will analyze your trading partners and their financial strength to determine the credit limit coverage that will be available to you.

For example ; if a company has a t/o of over  THB ฿ 38 million , the cost equates to a premium rate that varies on average between 0.1 and 1% of turnover. 
This figure is based on the volume of insurable business, the profile of your company – in particular, its area of activity and history of claims – and your requirements (the type of coverage, specific options, etc.).

Having used credit insurance for many years, I’d recommend Coface because their response times on limits are exceptionally good compared with other providers, their underwriters know what they are doing and they are always happy to discuss any issues.
