NECAGuard Trade Credit Insurance for Electrical Contractors

Recent events involving companies associated with the Bathla Group, including Raj & Jay Constructions Pty Limited and Universal Property Group Pty Limited, serve as an important reminder of the financial risks electrical and communications contractors can face when customers become insolvent.

With significant construction and development activity across Western Sydney affected, many contractors may be exposed to unpaid invoices, ongoing projects, or outstanding debts. Customer insolvency can place immediate pressure on a business's cash flow, profitability, and ability to continue trading confidently.

While NECA continues to support members impacted by these developments, it also highlights the importance of having the right protection in place against customer credit risk.

NECAGuard Trade Credit Insurance is specifically designed for electrical contractors to protect business cash flow against customer non-payment, insolvency, and bad debts.
