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 credit 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 policy. It applies to one or more credit limits and offers you additional protection against the risk of non-payment. This second-tier policy acts only in excess of the primary cover at an optimised cost and covers your receivables in the event of payment default.

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 policy we structure is based on a personalised study of your customer risk exposure. It takes into account your business sector, your buyer portfolio and the specific features of your domestic and export target markets. Our approach is to integrate Top Up as a genuine sales enhancer directly into your overall receivables management programme to maximise the effectiveness of your credit insurance.

As a specialised broker,we select the Top Up complementary solutions best suited to your risk profile by drawing on the offerings of various credit insurance companies. In this way, we can offer you second-tier cover policies that augment your existing credit limits 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 policy: 

  • Threshold
  • Indemnity rate aligned with your main policy
  • Nature of risks covered (commercial, political...)
  • Compatibility with the requirements of your financiers

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 security.

Financing leverage

By improving your collateral, you also raise your profile with banks and factoring companies. This means you can obtain larger financing lines, with no additional administrative burden.

International coverage

The policies we put in place cover your receivables in over 150 countries. These policies are adapted to the local requirements of each market (legal, regulatory, sectoral, etc.)

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, or an exporter, this complementary solution can meet all your specific needs.
