Sleep Insurance??
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night worrying about an existing outstanding receivable? They say they are going to pay but have yet to make good on their promise. Might you be second guessing that second load of fuel you sold them when they haven’t paid for their first? Has your customer’s open balance gotten so high that it could now truly hurt your cashflow if they don’t pay? If so, I’d recommend you looking into sleep insurance (trade credit insurance). As Forbes recently published in January, credit insurance is the 2nd most important insurance policy that people don’t buy…but should.
Many companies experience this sleeplessness when they don’t have to. They don’t think twice when insuring their trucks, buildings, equipment, etc. Your A/R can make up to 40% of your assets but is the most commonly uninsured. And you’re more likely to file a claim on your A/R than the fire insurance of your building. For a fraction of a penny per gallon, it makes too much sense to not explore how credit insurance can help your company.
CREDIT INSURANCE
Credit insurance is a cost-effective sales tool that allows you to insure your receivables so you can safely sell more to your existing customers, go after new customers that may have been a credit risk in the past, and expand into new markets that you originally perceived to be too risky. Credit insurance offers solutions for safe and profitable growth:
- Grow sales safely, domestically and abroad, to new and existing customers
- Protect your business from risk of non-payments
- Make better and faster credit decisions
- Ease tensions between sales and credit
- Avoid personal guarantees
- Borrow better from the bank by eliminating concentrations and obtain higher advances with lower rates
- Eliminate letters of credit and replace them with a tax-deduct- ible insurance provision
- Gives you leverage to collect from your customers
