Cashflow trader

 

Provides cash flow certainty by paying invoices within a set period, providing you with a more predictable DSO.

 

Maintaining a healthy cash flow is one of the most vital aspects of any business. If a customer defaults on an invoice it can take months to recover payment, even if you are insured, as many claims processes are lengthy. Often, you are financing your customers' late payments to the detriment of your cash flow and your business development.

 

We have therefore developed an innovative policy that integrates credit assessment, credit insurance and collections management. Cashflow Trader's unique Early Claim Payment feature provides certainty of cash flow by paying claims 30 days after notification where a debt remains uncollected.

 

Cashflow Trader is a Coface Globalliance contract - a policy whose flexible modular format enables us to tailor-make it to your particular trading requirements.

 

How the policy works

 

  • Flexibility is key. You choose when and for which customer you would like the collection process on an unpaid invoice to start. This can be at any time between the due date and the date in your policy that you are asked to notify us. This applies to all invoices for which a credit limit or @rating has been requested, not trade below the Discretionary Limit.
  • Our discreet and professional collections team will then begin the recovery process.
  • If, after 30 days of attempting to collect the debt, we have not recovered it, we will pay you up to the value of the credit limit or @rating subject to a maximum of £1 million.
