In our last series, we discussed Medium Term Insurance; what it is, how it can benefit you, and how to get it.
In this three-part series, we will walk through Short Term Single Risk Insurance.
What is it?
Single risk insurance is typically between one seller and one borrower. Repayment terms are for no more than 360 days, while most are 180 days or less. Single risk insurance provides coverage against events of non-payment, commercial or political, associated with an open account sale between trading partners. It may also be used by lenders that want to insure short-term loans to their corporate borrowers.
This coverage can be used for a single sale or on a revolving basis for multiple sales over a given period of time. It can be used for sales to end-users, dealers, or distributors. In many instances, the seller is insuring consumable goods such as commodities, parts, etc., but it can also be used to insure sales of capital equipment.
Single risk insurance is beneficial when dealing with higher-risk countries or new customers with whom you do not have an extensive trading history. Insuring your sales can help you to compete while protecting your business against the risk of non-payment. In our next blog, we will talk about why you would consider using single risk insurance and how it can directly benefit you.
