Unlocking business growth with TradeLiner by Coface for mid-market companies

In the dynamic landscape of global commerce, mid-market companies often find themselves navigating through a maze of uncertainties and risks. These enterprises, situated between medium to large businesses, play a crucial role in driving economic growth and innovation. However, they often face unique challenges in managing their trade operations efficiently while safeguarding against potential risks. In this context, TradeLiner by Coface emerges as a game-changer, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to the specific needs of mid-market players.

TradeLiner, the flagship product of Coface, a leading global credit insurer and risk management solutions provider, is designed to empower mid-market companies by providing them with a robust trade credit insurance solution. At its core, TradeLiner secures your cash flow and optimises your credit management. How? By protecting you against unpaid invoices in South Africa and abroad whether due to bankruptcy or late payment. It’s an all-inclusive solution that meets the unique demands of medium to large companies.

One of the primary advantages of TradeLiner lies in its ability to mitigate the inherent risks associated with trade transactions. In today's interconnected global economy, mid-market companies often engage in cross-border trade, exposing themselves to various risks such as insolvency, protracted default, political instability, and currency fluctuations. TradeLiner acts as a shield against these risks, offering financial protection and peace of mind to businesses as they pursue growth opportunities in international markets. We start by analysing your business activity, sector and specific needs so that we can put together a 100% customisable policy with you. Our credit risk managers then analyse your client portfolio to help you identify the commercial risk levels of your current and potential customers. We then put guarantees into place to insure you for up to 90% of the amount of your transactions through our mid-market business credit insurance.

Moreover, TradeLiner goes beyond risk mitigation and offers a range of benefits that directly contribute to the growth and sustainability of mid-market enterprises. Here are some key benefits:

  1. It safeguards your cash flow: 1 in 4 companies go out of business due to non-payment by its customers. Securing your business against unpaid invoices means shielding your cash flow and growing your turnover without any worries. Business credit insurance is the only tool that protects the economy against bankruptcy chains and the job losses that go with them.
  2. It reduces credit risk: Trade credit insurance provides businesses with the assurance that they will be compensated in the event of customer default, thereby reducing the risk of financial losses and securing your profit margins.
  3. It improves access to financing: Credit insurance guarantees that you have optimised cash flow so you can meet once-off needs. It’s a sign of confidence that reassures your financial partners, helping you obtain future financing.
