Our solutions at a glance
Hermes Cover is an instrument for managing risks involved in export business and it protects companies against bad debt losses. In addition to non-payment risks, which exist also at home such as insolvency or unwillingness to pay, political non-payment risks also loom abroad which may result in a complete loss of the trade receivables in extreme cases. These risks include for example the confiscation of goods or the unfair calling of contract bonds.
Risks do not wait until after the goods are shipped. Economic or political reasons may force an early stop during manufacture. In such a case the exporter will normally be left with the production costs incurred so far on his hands.
As protection against these and other export risks the Federal Export Credit Insurance scheme offers a great variety of products. Please use the overview in order to find the solution that will fit your specific needs. If you already know which type of cover will be appropriate, you can directly select it on this page.
