We are different
With iTOO we understand the rhythms of business and use our expertise to manage your risk. Our Trade Credit Cover offers you selected debtor trade credit insurance, allowing you the opportunity to select the risks you want to insure and, once approved, to set your own limits. Unlike our competitors, with iTOO you can select the cover you need – from your full debtor book to specific individual debtors. Our offering is also simplified; we price your risk on individual debtors so that you can determine the correlation between risk and cost, making the right decision for your business.
Our claim payments truly set us, and your business, apart, because with iTOO you are paid when you should be paid, either directly by your client or through a claim. We put our money where our cover is because once we’ve reached undisputed indebtedness, we pay out claims without waiting periods, allowing you to keep your lights on and your wheels turning.
