Whether your business is exporting or trading domestically, it is important to protect your business against the risk of non-payment by your overseas customers.
Credit insurance can help you mitigate and protect your business against the risk of non-payment. There are a number of insurance providers so you may want to seek independent advice to ensure that the insurance meets your needs.
