About the Webinar

Protecting and collecting A/R receivables in different regions of the world can be fraught with difficulty. Beyond customer risk, there are also sovereign risk issues to consider. Credit executives may encounter political upheaval and natural disasters, along with the risk of customer default through bankruptcy. This webinar will examine credit insurance as one of the tools available for companies to protect against such risk.

Topics include:

  • The mechanics of a credit insurance policy
  • Credit policy terms
  • Key issues in purchasing or renewing insurance coverage
  • How to negotiate the best possible terms to enhance the scope of coverage
