For all trade credit insurance solutions, the cost equates to a premium rate that varies on average between 0.1 and 1% of turnover. This figure is based on the volume of insurable business, the profile of your company – in particular its area of activity and history of claims – and your requirements (the type of coverage, specific options, etc.).
