How do you know if your company needs credit insurance? If you answer "Yes" to one or more of the following questions, you may need credit insurance.
- Has your company already experienced the impact from a significant bankruptcy or payment default?
- Has your sales department continued to sell to customers over credit department objections?
- Would your company be adversely affected by the non-performance of one or more of your large customers?
- Are you falling behind in the competition because you refuse to offer credit terms to customers in certain locations or industries?
- Does your company sell or plan to sell in foreign markets and you're concerned about what would happen if your customer doesn't pay?
- Has your customer insisted on purchasing from your company on credit and you just keep hesitating?
- Does at least 20% or less of your clients account for 80% or more of your accounts receivable portfolio?
- Does your company's borrowing base currently exclude foreign sales and/or receivable concentrations and this is restricting your borrowing power?
