Credit Solutions

Credit solutions, including trade credit insurance, political risk insurance and surety services are critical tools for companies developing sustainable growth strategies. They also provide businesses with a more flexible and efficient way to secure financing. Importantly, a well-designed credit strategy creates economically attractive options for your lenders as well.

When organisations and their banking partners take co-ownership of securing and protecting working capital, all parties benefit, relationships strengthen, and businesses can grow even as inflation continues to be a concern and the cost of capital increases.

All organisations face growing economic headwinds as new forms of volatility, including climate change, pandemics, geopolitical conflict, and supply chain disruption, impede business operations and change consumer and employee expectations.

At the same time, today’s market conditions present leaders with exciting opportunities to take bold and transformative action. Actions that often require injections of capital to secure an edge over competitors.

Credit solutions allow businesses to address the challenges without necessarily increasing debt levels or utilising existing banking lines, providing leaders with added flexibility to drive growth.

Rising Investment Risks
Rising non-payment, liquidity, and investment risks against a backdrop of inflation
