What's the risk?

As you build your business, your customer base expands. But with new customers - both in the UK and overseas - comes added risk.

For most companies, debtors represent about 40% of their business assets. And typically, 20% of a company's customers account for 80% of their sales. A serious bad debt from a key customer could leave your business financially crippled, or even unable to continue trading.

Despite the risk of not having bad debt protection (especially in times of economic downturn) only some 20% of UK companies carry effective credit risk insurance. Yet the likelihood and the consequences of bad debt are far more serious than routinely insured yet relatively rare risks such as fire.
