Also known as "accounts receivable" insurance. This product is organized to insure valid and enforceable debt obligations against the risk of non-payment which arise from the sale or financing of trade transactions. Coverage is available to insureds based in the U.S. or throughout many international countries. Ironshore considers trade transactions on a single buyer, multi-buyer, key account or spread of risk basis.
Ironshore's Political Risk Insurance is available to assist manufacturing companies and financial institutions in managing the unforeseen obstacles of doing business internationally. Ironshore provides a range of policy structures specifically organized to cover the following perils:
CEND insurance is designed to protect businesses with an ownership interest in prperty abroad. Simply stated, confiscation and expropriation occurs when a host country seizes a company's development rights, its facilities and/or its inventories for the host country's own use. Nationalization occurs when the host government expropriates property and hands the assets to a state-owned entity. Deprivation occurs when the host country prevents the use of assets.
CEND policies can be customized to address specific transaction structures. Whether the insured is a business owner with foreign assets or a financial institution engaged in a project finance, Ironshore is open to evaluating existing or new projects.
CI insurance is designed to protect against excessive delays in acquiring foreign exchange caused by a host government's action or failure to act due to adverse changes in exchange control laws or regulations and by deterioration in conditions governing the remittance of local currency. CI insurance does not protect the insured against devaluations of a contry's currency.
Ironshore offers war, political violence and stand-alone terrorism insurance to U.S.- based companies with exposures in the U.S. and worldwide.
