Trade Credit Insurance, also known as Credit Insurance, is an insurance policy that protects manufacturers, traders, exporters, and service providers from financial losses that occur due to the non-payment of credit receivables from customers because of insolvency, political risks, or protracted default.
Any organization based out of UAE who is into credit sales both in the domestic and the international market is susceptible to credit risks and can apply for this insurance.
Acquiring Trade credit insurance is advantageous to a business in numerous ways, some of the benefits are as follows:
Safeguarding the financial position of the organization: Since Trade credit insurance protects businesses from the financial repercussions of bad debts, it plays a crucial role in safeguarding the cash-flow, profits, and overall financial health of the business.

Customer information: Trade Credit Insurers maintain an expansive database of organizations and their financial health, credit information etc. This enables businesses to assess the credit worthiness of clients and make informed decisions.
A Trade Credit Insurance policy covers the following commercial and political risks associated with export of goods and local sales on credit.
Protracted default: It is the failure of a buyer to pay full or part of the debt by the end of the credit period. Since financial losses due to protracted default can be incurred by local businesses as well as International traders, having a Trade Credit Insurance cover is important for business who sell on credit terms.
Buyer’s Insolvency or Bankruptcy: in case a buyer is deemed insolvent or bankrupt, a seller with a Trade Credit Insurance would receive part or full amount owed by the buyer depending on the policy terms.
Payment defaults due to war, civil disorder, or natural disasters

Both. Standard Trade Credit Policies are especially useful for small and medium-sized enterprises. For organizations with niche requirements, policies can be drafted to meet their specific needs.
Like most other insurance policies, the premium for a Trade Credit Insurance will depend on several factors. For instance, a business with a higher credit turnover will pay a higher trade credit insurance premium compared to a business that has a lower credit turnover. However, credit turnover and the number of clients insured is not the sole determinant of the premium amount, factors such as the overall volatility of the industry, the history and credit rating of the clients, also substantially impact the premium. Insuring accounts receivables from low-risk clients with healthy credit ratings will reduce the premium. There is also a direct co-relation between the trade credit insurance premium and the indemnifiable amount, for a higher indemnifiable amount the premium will be higher and vice versa.
