Description

Credit risk insurance is a type of insurance that protects businesses against the risk of non-payment by their clients. It helps companies manage their financial exposure by providing coverage for potential losses resulting from default on credit agreements.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in financial discussions rather than strictly medical contexts. Common variants include 'seguro de crédito' and 'cobertura de crédito', which may be used colloquially. It is important to stick to the glossary term in formal settings to avoid confusion.
