Top Up credit insurance cover

In an uncertain economic environment, insuring your trade receivables becomes a strategic lever. Top Up cover is a complementary solution to your credit insurance policy: it allows you to increase the coverage limits granted by your primary insurer. This gives your company access to additional protection for all your domestic and international customers.

Top Up credit insurance cover 

What is a Top Up cover?

Top Up top-up cover allows you to double or even triple the initial credit limit granted by your main insurer, without modifying your original contract. It applies to one or more credit lines and offers you extended protection against the risk of non-payment. This second-tier policy acts only in excess of the main cover at an optimized cost and guarantees your receivables in the event of exceptional default or payment incident.

The advantages of Top Up coverage with AU Group

A tailor-made solution

At AU Group, we know that no two companies are alike. That's why every Top Up guarantee we structure is based on a personalized study of your customer risk exposure. It takes into account your business sector, your buyer portfolio and the specific features of your national and international target markets. Our approach is to integrate Top Up as a genuine steering tool directly into your overall receivables management program to maximize the effectiveness of your credit insurance.

As a specialized broker,we select the Top Up complementary solutions best suited to your risk profile by drawing on the offerings of credit insurance companies. In this way, we can offer you second-tier cover policies that augment your existing guarantee lines on certain strategic buyers. This additional coverage can be applied to USD or EUR amounts for any type of transaction and with a flexible duration to suit your business needs.

Thanks to our expertise in the credit insurance market, we can help you define the key parameters of your contract: 

  • Trigger threshold
  • Indemnity rate aligned with your main policy
  • Nature of risks covered (commercial, political, sectoral...)
  • Compatibility with the requirements of your financial partners

We build tailor-made protection to cover your trade receivables proactively and without red tape. As a result, you have access to additional insurance capacity to further develop your sales by offering you greater financial solidity.

Financing leverage

Which companies can benefit from Top Up coverage?

The Top Up cover is aimed at all companies already holding a traditional credit insurance policy, whatever their size or sector of activity. Most companies that call on a Top Up cover encounter coverage limitations on certain customers. Whether you're a large group, a fast-growing SME, an industrial SME, an export player or an international trade company, this complementary solution can meet all your specific needs.

Are you still satisfied with your credit insurance?

When to use a Top Up cover in credit insurance?

Top Up cover is ideal when credit lines are insufficient due to a lack of capacity on the part of the main insurer. It can also be very beneficial when the creditworthiness of certain key buyers is limited, as these situations can block transactions or limit sales. 

In addition, Top Up cover may be necessary if you are launching a new product line, targeting an export market, or facing a seasonal peak in activity or a rise in inflation. In fact, it offers you unique flexibility to meet your evolving needs. It supports your growth while securing your sales.

By integrating a customized Top Up policy, you gain access to additional protection without burdening your accounts receivable management.
