With Brexit looming large, the Trade Credit Insurance market will be opened up to more businesses online to help insure against bad debt
London — March 6th, 2019 — Today, InvoiceInsure and Hokodo announce an exciting partnership to disrupt and grow the $9B global trade credit insurance market. The two London based InsureTechs have developed a Single Invoice Insurance product, enabling small businesses trading in the UK to obtain single invoice insurance online.
Single Invoice Insurance is a way of insuring accounts receivable online, both instantly and cost effectively, on an invoice-by-invoice basis.
“Domestic and international trade is changing rapidly and is highlighted by a number of high-profile failures, such as Carillion, House of Fraser and Maplin – which leaves tens of thousands of smaller suppliers vulnerable,” said Nic Gidaracos, Chief Commercial Officer at InvoiceInsure. “This has created urgency among businesses to insure one of their largest assets: their invoices. Most businesses interviewed don’t know that they can insure their invoices, which is a vital way to de-risk in highly volatile trading conditions.”
Richard Thornton, Co-CEO of Hokodo said: “Every year across Europe, hundreds of thousands of companies are driven into insolvency because of late or non-payment of invoices. This represents a massive cost to society in job losses and financial distress. We’re excited to partner with InvoiceInsure to make our products available to SMEs who will most benefit from this solution.”
Sami Ben Hatit, CTO of Hokodo adds: “Thanks to Hokodo’s APIs, InvoiceInsure’s customers will have access to real-time pay-per-use insurance, which represents a technological leap over what the industry offers today.”
