Credit Insurance v Bad Debt Protection

Need help? Get in touch.

Not just one kind of protection

Bad debt insurance offers just one kind of protection for your business: against customer insolvency and the resulting loss of income if a bill isn’t paid as a result.

Credit insurance offers so much more

While this is valuable as far as it goes, it falls far short of the multi-risk protection a Coface Credit Insurance policy can bring to your business. This table shows the difference in detail between a typical bad debt protection product and the right credit insurance, tailored to your business by Coface.
