Trade Credit Division

Introduction

Diversified Risk provides brokerage and advisory services for trade credit and political risk insurance.  We offer products designed to protect companies against losses caused by commercial or political events, which are beyond a firm’s control.  Our clients also use these products to:

  1. enhance customer financing programs, thereby increasing sales
  2. accelerate cash flow by selling or financing notes and receivables.

Diversified Risk can provide companies and financial institutions with special expertise when structuring or negotiating trade finance transactions.  We obtain non-recourse financing for exporters; negotiate customer financing terms with buyers; provide export or pre-export financing; or simply help two parties better understand and mitigate risk.

Products And Services

Trade Credit Insurance

Through the use of trade credit insurance, Diversified Risk has helped many companies expand their export sales and financing alternatives while reducing risk.

Trade credit insurance is available from public and private sector underwriters.  Generally such insurance covers non-payment risk due to commercial events (insolvency and failure to pay) and/or political events (currency inconvertibility, cancellation of import license, political violence, trade embargo, etc.)

With an effective trade credit insurance program companies can:

Define the amount of risk compatible with corporate objectives and use that risk to obtain competitive advantages.

Expand sales opportunities and enter new markets by offering expanded account credit terms.

Access financing, especially for export receivables.

Manage risk more effectively through communication with the underwriters and their extensive databases on customers and markets.

Political Risk Investment

For clients seeking to insure equity investments abroad, we also have relationships with all of the public and private market insurers.

For projects requiring large capacity, we have the capability and know-how to design cooperative underwriting programs utilizing insurance facilities available in the public and private sectors.
