Protecting Trade,
Assets and Contracts

Cross-border trade carries risks that a single missed payment, damaged shipment or policy change can turn into a loss. We help businesses understand those risks and put the right cover in place.

Risk You Can See is Risk You Can Manage

Trading across Southern Africa means dealing with long transport routes, changing regulations, currency swings and customers whose credit history is hard to verify. Most businesses insure their buildings and vehicles, yet leave their biggest exposure uncovered: the goods in transit and the money their customers owe them.

AfriTrade Capital's risk advisory starts with a clear review of where your business is exposed, from counterparty and country risk to cargo, contract and currency risk. We then design a practical programme of cover and controls and arrange it with licensed insurers and brokers in our network.

Good cover also unlocks funding. Insured receivables and goods are easier to finance, which is why our risk advisory works hand in hand with our trade finance and invoice discounting solutions.
