01 / 09

Credit Insurance

Protects your business against non-payment from customers, so a bad debt doesn't threaten your cash flow.

What's Covered

  • Cover against customer insolvency or protracted default
  • Whole-turnover or key-account cover structures
  • Credit assessment and monitoring of your buyers
  • Debt collection support once a claim is triggered

Who This Is For

Businesses that sell on credit terms, particularly those with customer concentration risk or trading into new or higher-risk markets.

Good to Know

Beyond the payout itself, the underlying credit monitoring often flags a deteriorating buyer well before a default actually happens.

Usually Not Covered

  • Debts already overdue before the policy started
  • Sales to connected or related parties
  • Political risk in markets specifically excluded from the policy
02 / 09

Export Credit Insurance

Protects exporters against non-payment by overseas buyers, from buyer insolvency to political events that stop payment.

What's Covered

  • Buyer insolvency and protracted default overseas
  • Political risks such as currency transfer restrictions and war
  • Pre-shipment cover if a contract is cancelled before goods ship
  • Support from government export credit agencies where available

Who This Is For

Exporters selling on credit terms into overseas markets, especially new or higher-risk ones.

Good to Know

An insured export receivable is often easier to finance. Banks will lend more against invoices that carry credit insurance.

Usually Not Covered

  • Disputes over the goods themselves
  • Sales to buyers already known to be in difficulty
  • Losses from currency exchange movements
03 / 09

Political Risk Insurance

Protects overseas investments, assets and contracts against government actions and political events beyond your control.

What's Covered

  • Confiscation, expropriation and nationalisation
  • Currency inconvertibility and transfer restrictions
  • Political violence, war and civil unrest
  • Forced abandonment of assets or operations

Who This Is For

Companies investing in, operating in or lending into emerging and higher-risk markets.

Good to Know

Policies can run for several years and are usually non-cancellable by the insurer, so cover stays in place even if the country's situation worsens.

Usually Not Covered

  • Commercial losses such as poor trading results
  • Events already happening when cover starts
  • Losses from breaking local laws
04 / 09

Contract Frustration Insurance

Covers losses when a contract is cancelled or can't be performed for political reasons, including when the buyer is a government.

What's Covered

  • Embargoes, sanctions and licence cancellations
  • Wrongful calling of on-demand bonds and guarantees
  • Non-payment by government or state-owned buyers
  • Pre-delivery costs already incurred on frustrated contracts

Who This Is For

Contractors and exporters working on major projects or selling to governments and state-owned enterprises.

Good to Know

Contract frustration cover can include unfair calling of bonds, protecting you if a performance or advance payment bond is called without good reason.

Usually Not Covered

  • Your own failure to perform the contract
  • Losses from commercial disputes
  • Sanctions in force before the contract was signed
05 / 09

Surety Bonds (Insurance-Backed)

Performance, advance payment, bid and other bonds issued by insurers instead of banks, so your bank credit lines stay free.

What's Covered

  • Performance, bid, advance payment and retention bonds
  • Maintenance, customs and other guarantee types
  • A bonding facility for repeat or ongoing needs
  • Bonds accepted in place of bank guarantees

Who This Is For

Contractors and suppliers who issue bonds regularly and want to keep bank facilities available for funding.

Good to Know

Bank guarantees usually use up your borrowing limit; surety bonds generally don't, which can make a real difference when you're bidding for several projects at once.

Usually Not Covered

  • Projects outside the agreed bonding facility
  • Contracts where the beneficiary only accepts bank guarantees
  • Bonds for businesses that don't meet the insurer's financial criteria
06 / 09

Commercial Crime & Fidelity Insurance

Protects your business from financial loss through employee theft, fraud and social-engineering scams.

What's Covered

  • Employee theft and dishonesty (fidelity guarantee)
  • Social engineering and fake-supplier payment fraud
  • Third-party fraud, forgery and computer fraud
  • Investigation costs following a loss

Who This Is For

Any business that handles payments, client money or valuable stock, especially those with large finance teams or many suppliers.

Good to Know

Payment fraud by email is now one of the most common losses. Check your policy specifically covers social engineering, as some limit it heavily.

Usually Not Covered

  • Losses discovered long after the policy period
  • Theft by owners or majority shareholders
  • Indirect losses such as lost profits
07 / 09

Directors' & Officers' Liability (D&O)

Protects directors and senior managers personally against claims alleging wrongful acts in running the company.

What's Covered

  • Defence costs and damages for claims against directors
  • Regulatory investigations and proceedings
  • Claims from shareholders, creditors and employees
  • Company reimbursement when it indemnifies its directors

Who This Is For

Companies of every size, and their directors, who can be held personally liable for decisions made on the company's behalf.

Good to Know

D&O protects personal assets: in insolvency, creditors and liquidators often pursue directors directly, and that's when the cover matters most.

Usually Not Covered

  • Fraud or deliberate wrongdoing once proven
  • Fines and penalties that can't legally be insured
  • Claims known before the policy started
08 / 09

Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) Insurance

Covers losses from breaches of the warranties and indemnities given when a business is bought or sold.

What's Covered

  • Breach of warranty claims after a deal completes
  • Tax indemnity cover
  • Buyer-side or seller-side policies
  • A clean exit for sellers with less money held in escrow

Who This Is For

Buyers and sellers of businesses, private equity firms and their advisers.

Good to Know

W&I can make a bid more attractive: buyers can claim from the insurer rather than the seller, so sellers can walk away with more of the price.

Usually Not Covered

  • Issues the buyer already knew about
  • Forward-looking statements and forecasts
  • Known tax or legal disputes
09 / 09

Non-Payment Insurance for Lenders

Protects banks, trade financiers and funds against borrowers or obligors failing to pay, including on letters of credit and trade loans.

  • Letter of credit confirmation risk
  • Single-obligor or portfolio cover
  • Capital relief for regulated lenders

Who This Is For

Banks, trade finance houses, commodity traders and funds that extend credit or confirm letters of credit.

Good to Know

For banks, insured exposures can count towards capital relief, freeing room to lend more to the same clients.

Usually Not Covered

  • Fraud by the insured lender
  • Loans made outside agreed lending criteria
  • Currency losses on repayments
