Learn how accounts receivable insurance will protect your business from bad debt and unpaid invoices, preserving your cash flow and supporting trade.
Yes! Accounts Receivable Insurance (AR Insurance)—also called Receivables Insurance—is a smart way to protect your business from the risk of unpaid invoices. Whether you’re a small business or a global enterprise, insuring your accounts receivable can strengthen your financial stability and help you manage credit risk effectively.
Depending on your policy, accounts receivable insurance usually covers:
Accounts Receivable Insurance coverage protects your business against losses caused by customer non-payment, insolvency, or delayed payments. It’s not just about unpaid invoices—AR Insurance can also help maintain liquidity during supply chain disruptions and economic uncertainty.
Absolutely. Here’s why:

Safeguard your receivables from customer defaults.

Supply Chain Resilience
Maintain operations even when disruptions occur.
Whether through insolvency, default, or political risks, your customer may fail to pay you.
Having accounts receivable insurance means that, no matter what (in line with the wording of your policy), you can still get paid. No matter how long you have known your buyer, you don’t always know what is impacting their business.
Even the strongest trade relationships with longstanding accounts can be jeopardized by unforeseen circumstances. There is only thing more detrimental to the stability of your business than losing a customer. That is losing a customer while also not getting paid for services rendered or product delivered. This is why accounts receivable insurance is an essential tool for protecting your bottom line.
Accounts receivable insurance is used by many businesses to enable trade.
It can be particularly useful when exploring new markets. Most credit insurance companies will conduct their own research into your prospective customers, adding another layer to your own due diligence.
The best accounts receivable insurance agencies function as a strategic source of information to help the growth of your business. The expertise and knowledge of underwriters working in your sector can further support your understanding of a potential market and underpin your decision-making processes.
Banks tend to be risk averse. Proving that your receivables are insured can help you demonstrate your bottom line is secure. This can enhance your negotiations with finance providers. Having accounts receivable insurance may lead to lower interest rates, a higher credit line, or may even be the difference between approval and denial of a loan.
