Frequently Asked Questions

Demystifying Insurance

  1. A surety bond is a three-party agreement ensuring the fulfillment of contractual obligations. If the principal fails to meet terms, the surety compensates the obligee.

  2. Surety bonds are popular in industries where contractors are frequently hired, such as construction, transport and logistics, manufacturing, and retail, among others. 

  3. Trade credit insurance is a type of insurance designed to protect businesses from financial losses if their customers fail to pay for goods or services. It ensures a company’s cash flow remains secure in cases of protracted default including insolvency or bankruptcy.

  4. Industries such as manufacturing, wholesale, and export frequently use trade credit insurance to safeguard against buyer non-payment.

  5. Surety bonds are not insurance. While they are issued by insurance companies, they function as a financial guarantee, ensuring one party is protected if another party fails to fulfill contractual or legal obligations.
