The Value of an Independent Broker

A trade credit insurance program represents an important investment for your business. By using a specialty trade credit insurance broker, companies can assure that they are receiving the maximum value for their time and investment. Specialty brokers are trained in trade credit and political risk insurance policies and their financing aspects, which are often times as important to the insured as the risk mitigation benefits of the policy.

Some of the benefits a broker offers are:

• Educates companies on the credit insurance market, including the carriers and their different philosophies, the product options, and the optimal policy structures; *Ask us about our comparative Insurer Matrix!
• Works with the client and their financial institution(s) to meet their respective finance and risk mitigation needs;
• Advocates and negotiates on the client's behalf with the various insurance providers;
• Provides support to companies throughout the life cycle of the policy with training on policy guidelines and policy management tools;
• Assists companies with due diligence, credit analysis, managing buyer/aggregate credit limits, shipment reporting, and potential claim filings; *Order Credit Reports Through TAG!,
• An independent broker works directly for the client, and not for the insurance company (eg. general agent). They can solicit and evaluate quotations from multiple credit insurance providers (called "shopping your coverage") to identify the best fit and most economical option for the client. A general agent will provide quotes for his/her company only.
