Trade confidently in Sweden and overseas

Protect your business from supply chain risks such as bad debt.

In the expanding global economy, many manufacturers are looking to trade overseas or in new markets. Whilst this is a good opportunity for ambitious businesses, it also presents a number of risks.

Bad debt is one major concern; in order to be competitive and grow effectively, businesses often need to offer open credit to their customers. However, if a customer is suddenly unable to pay their credit debts, the financial impact could be detrimental and in some cases catastrophic.
This is why it is important to know the potential risks of trading with every customer and have the appropriate credit limits and processes in place to protect your business.
