Sales Expansion

Increase Sales Without The Risk

Credit insurance is one of the only insurance products where you can generate a return on investment. If your receivables are insured you can safely sell more to your existing customers, go after new customers that may have been a credit risk in the past, and expand into new markets that you originally perceived to be too risky. Credit Insurance allows you to make instant credit decisions and speed up the long process of waiting on credit apps to be completed and eliminate the dreaded “personal guarantee” that your customers don’t want to complete. You can eliminate that tension that can come from aggressive sales people and conservative credit departments. This allows to sell more aggressively without the risk. You will sleep better at night knowing you will be able to collect on the goods and services you sold.

All the ways credit insurance helps business owners:

  • Ease tensions between sales and credit departments
  • Speed up the sales cycle and avoid personal guarantees
  • Use credit insurance as a competitive advantage
  • Give current customers higher credit limits

Decreasing Bad Debt

Cover only specific exposures

Many times, our clients pick up one large deal. While they have comfort selling to their other customers, this one particular deal puts them out of their comfort zone. They either have to borrow to fulfill the order and the bank is unwilling due to concentrations, or they simply don’t feel comfortable extending that much credit to one single customer. Often times, these large orders will request longer terms than normal, 60 days, 90 days. This can jeopardize cash flow and definitely cause sleepless nights.

Credit insurance can help with this scenario.

You don’t have to insure your entire portfolio. Leykell can structure a deal with many carriers that can accommodate this type of transaction.

Improve your Financing Terms

Borrow Better

Traditional asset based lenders will advance 75-80% on receivables. They will also exclude foreign A/R and eliminate certain receivables due to concentration risks. This can cause problems if your business utilizes or would like maximize a line of credit. With credit insurance, banks can lend up to 90%, often times at lower rates (as the risk is transferred from the bank). Banks will also lend on foreign receivables and eliminate concentration risks. Credit insurance is also a great alternative to letters of credit. It is much cheaper and you don’t have to deal with the complications of letters of credit. A letter of credit can cost up to 2% and tie up your customer’s bank line. Credit insurance typically will cost .25 bps and allow you to give open terms internationally with guaranteed payment. Credit insurance will also allow you to eliminate or reduce your bad debt reserve while converting this into a tax deductible insurance provision. Credit insurance will also help forecast losses (they are in the form of your policy).

When the unexpected happens rest easy knowing you have credit insurance.
