They provide financial security to buyers and sellers through letters of guarantee. A bank guarantee is a written commitment by a bank to pay a certain amount to the beneficiary if certain conditions are met. The disadvantage of bank guarantees is that they seize the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working capital of a company. This can limit financial flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Guarantees from insurers<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurers have become increasingly prominent in the field of financial guarantees in recent years. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is interesting for companies to look into guarantee facilities through insurers, as the working capital will not be affected. This is because the insurer's guarantee facility is not deducted from working capital. In addition, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">insurers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often better ratings than banks, making their guarantees more acceptable. Insurers, unlike banks, fall under the Solvency supervisory framework. This has less stringent requirements than Basel standards for banks, making insurers more attractive for guarantees. And insurers often have more extensive branch networks abroad, allowing them to issue guarantees locally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Common forms of guarantees<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of common forms of guarantee, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer guarantee\/registration guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepayment guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customs guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment guarantee<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you face any of these forms?

The number of bankruptcies has been rising for some time. The biggest hits were originally in the trade and construction industries, but it has now penetrated all sectors. It is crucial that companies keep a close eye on their financial position and take appropriate measures to avoid bankruptcy. To provide certainty to both buyers and manufacturers of investment goods, there is an important tool: the financial guarantee. Working capital is vital to keep your business running. Because a positive working capital means that your company has sufficient cash to meet its obligations and remain operational.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6214,"template":"","onderwerp":[18],"class_list":["post-6213","nieuwsitem","type-nieuwsitem","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","onderwerp-kredietverzekering"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nieuwsitem\/6213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nieuwsitem"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nieuwsitem"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"onderwerp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xolv.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/onderwerp?post=6213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
