What are the advantages of this product?

Bearing the risk of insolvency of other business entities is not the operational objective of manufacturing or trade enterprises. This means that transferring the above risk to the Insurer being a company with appropriate know-how to control it, is by all means natural and economically justified. Moreover, trade credit insurance provides the Policyholder with a number of additional benefits.

Basic principles of credit insurance

Preparation of a credit insurance offer for a company dealing with credit-based sales is possible after the prospective Policyholder sends a completed Preliminary Declaration to Euler Hermes.

Costs

Insurance premium is calculated based on the amount of insured turnover and the insurance rate expressed as a percentage fraction representing the resultant of the risk in the industry in which the Policyholder operates.


Additional costs constitute the fees for the rating of the Policyholder’s customers and the monitoring of their financial standing for a period of 12 months.
