But they couldn’t be more wrong. Here’s why credit insurance can be much more than just an occasional convenience. Six ways the simple possession of a Coface policy can transform your business – and give it a whole new start.

You can run a credit check on every potential customer before making any sort of commitment. The Coface database of 80 million customers worldwide is at your fingertips as a policy holder.

2 – Sell more efficiently

Credit insurance secures your cash flow. And feeling more confident about your finances enables you to clinch more sales by offering customers better, more competitive terms.

3 – Buy more efficiently

When suppliers know you’re insured, they know you’re much less likely to default on payment. That means they’re likely to offer you better credit terms – so you can buy cheaper and spread the cost over a longer period.

4 – Chase new business, not old debts
