Credit Force

During an official kick off event which took place on the 11th April 2006 in Houthalen, CreditForce, one of fastest growing credit management organisations in the Netherlands, has announced – in partnership with TCRe - the launch of 2 new services: “Debiteurengarant®” and “Calamiteitenverzekering” on the Dutch market. These services can be considered as groundbreaking in the relatively traditional credit insurance arena.

In these new types of insurance, the credit management plays a central role. With “Calamiteitenverzekering”, the company handles its own credit management in full autonomy. The company applies its own rules and not those of the credit insurer, which means there will be no credit limit per customer. A further characteristic of such an insurance is that the insured chooses to support part of the risk himself and determines the maximum insured amount per contract period. The insurer, for his part, leaves full credit management autonomy to his insured, and indemnifies when there is a claim following surseance or bankruptcy of one of his insured’s debtors.
With the product Debiteurengarant®, the approach is different: the credit management, including all related tasks, is fully outsourced to CreditForce. The advantage is that with this formula, the entrepreneur can then fully devote himself to his core activity : doing business. The company need not worry about the monitoring of its debts, nor about the many rules and procedures which traditionally accompany the implementation of a credit insurance. From the moment the company has sent out the invoice, the whole follow up is totally taken up by Credit Force, up to the potential compensation following surseance or the bankruptcy of one of his customers..

Both CreditForce and TCRe put high expectations in these two services and foresee a strong demand on the business scene. Bernard Rosen, President of TCRe, commented : “ Since the introduction of our product in Belgium, and France, there has been considerable demand for such a new approach, which is based on a totally new philosophy: we listen to the insured, respect his professional credit management and offer him the appropriate solution. We are extremely happy to be able to count on CreditForce as a dynamic partner and are quite confident in the successful introduction of these services on the Dutch market.”
Herman Jansen, CreditForce’s General Manager added : “We had wished for a long time to extend our Credit Management services to credit insurance. Here we do not come with a traditional solution, but are able to offer our customers solutions of a new kind. With TCRe we have found a partner who, like CreditForce, is ready to walk untreaden paths. We are the fourth provider in the Netherlands, but with those products of a new kind. Companies will now be offered a real choice.”

CreditForce is a Dutch, allround Credit Management organisation. CreditForce does not only outsource specialists, but also takes over, if desired, the whole credit management process of a company, including the full incasso route. CreditForce has experienced strong growth over the last years and now counts over 100 employees. Since beginning of this year, CreditForce is located in new offices in Houten.
