Whilst credit insurance indemnifies losses incurred from non-payment of commercial debt, the ultimate goal is to help your business avoid catastrophic losses and grow profitably. The key is to have the best information about companies, sectors and economic trends in order to make informed credit decisions to help avoid and minimize losses.

Corporate Risk Finance and Tax Enhancements
Archipelago Insurance Limited designs non-traditional, innovatively structured programmes that apply insurance and/or capital market strategies to help companies address unusual and difficult-to-insure risks more efficiently.
These programmes differ from most traditional insurance by including some element of "structure" such as an experience account, premium adjustments and/or the manner in which limits respond. When a Structured Insurance Programme includes an experience account, that account is funded by a portion of the programme's typically substantial premium or deposit premium. The account earns interest and funds loss payments. At a specified date after the policy period ends, the client may be eligible to receive any remaining balance.
Some of the potential benefits of a Structured Insurance include:
- Benefits from favourable loss experience
- Address multiple types of exposures in one structure
- Obtain multi-year capacity with price certainty
- Mitigate loss volatility with multi-year coverage
- Saving costs as compared to a traditional insurance
