The best way to understand what we do is to learn what we've done for other businesses and how we did.

Take their word for it. Some of our clients explain below why Coface UK is their preferred provider of credit management solutions.

If you are a broker, you will find a couple of examples where we have established successful partnerships with brokers to promote the benefits of credit insurance & related credit management services to the business community.

Cash Simply - View case study

“While British banking is among the best in the world, it is not as adept at credit insurance as a specialist. The other attractive thing is that an independent specialist will be much more involved in making your business work than a bank. For example we currently have a potential client with a turnover of £110 millon but this is simply too big for us to administer alone. However because Coface can help us manage the risk and understand our market they are happy to actively collaborate which enables us to accept a very desirable client.”

"Coface UK's Open Trader whole turnover policy enables us to take a more disciplined approach to credit management with new and existing customers and is an objective way of analysing a customer's credit risk. We have no intention of changing from Coface UK because the responsiveness and flexibility delivered by its team is excellent. Even if we enquire about an unincorporated customer, we invariably receive a quick and sympathetic response."

"We are very pleased with the way the Coface UK team has worked to enhance their relationship with us; while the Coface UK Top Trader key client cover policy itself has enabled us to move forward and increase our turnover with confidence, without being exposed by customer debts."

"The best thing about the Coface UK collections team is that they are irritating - in the best possible way, of course. While some customers seemed happy to ignore calls from a Finance Director for months, Coface UK can really get under their skin. In fact, as soon as Coface UK becomes involved, we usually receive payment in a couple of weeks. Quite simply, they are experts in extracting money from late paying customers"

"We are a company on the move so we were impressed with the speed and efficiency with which Coface Receivables Finance arranged our confidential invoice discounting facility. Going forward we have tough domestic and export sales targets to meet - a doubling of turnover this year - and we are in no doubt that the arrangement with Coface will provide much of the finance needed to help us achieve this."

"Coface were unique in being able to see the vision we outlined, as well as being willing and able to assist our growth. They had the ability to understand the management skill set to diversify our business portfolio - through acquisition, management buy out and take-overs. Coface also provide finance in the local currencies of our customers and allow invoice finance on these customers without limit."

European Colour- View case study

"Countries outside of Europe and the USA where we trade in US Dollars are important growth markets for European Colour. Coface UK, with their knowledge of these countries, were able to provide the funding limits we required - in short the flexibility we needed. And their collection skills in South America are an important extra benefit."

"After using financiers who had an international presence but were unable to provide a solution that reflected this, we are finally working with a financier - Coface - that is truly global. We can relax in the knowledge that we are working with one of the top three providers of credit management services in the UK. The Coface team are highly professional, able to act very quickly and have met exactly the objectives we agreed."

S-Tech Insurance Services - View case study

"Coface UK is one of a very few insurers who will visit every new client. This is good service. Indeed, Coface UK's proactive approach has enabled us to win new business. In one recent instance, whilst courting a new client - other suitors appeared in the shape of competing brokers. At that stage there were 3 interested brokers and around a dozen quotes under consideration so I arranged for our Coface UK underwriter to attend a meeting with the potential client to cut through the confusion! The M.D appreciated our active style and has subsequently insured through S-Tech - with Coface UK as insurer."
