A true bearing on the names your insurer won't cover.
Your credit insurer declines or caps the African counterparties they can't see clearly. You trade them anyway, uninsured and half-blind. Claridira gives your desk verified, on-the-ground intelligence on exactly those names, so you can finally see and price the risk you already carry.
The blind spot
The risk you carry blind
Trade-credit insurers cover the names they understand. Across fragmented African markets, the ones they decline or cap are not the safe ones, they are simply the ones nobody has clear ground-truth on. That sub-insurable tail lands on a trader's own neck.
Insurer says no
Where the credit insurer caps or refuses cover, your desk is exposed and unprotected at the same moment, on the deals that matter most.
No clear ground-truth
Western databases stop at the port. The mine, the supplier, the off-taker two borders inland never make it into a screen you can act on.
Carried, not measured
So the exposure is held by instinct and a phone call, never priced. One quiet default can erase a quarter of margin before anyone saw it coming.
How it works
From blind spot to a clear bearing
Claridira runs as an always-on feed beside your desk. Not a one-off report, a standing line of sight on the counterparties you cannot afford to misread.
Monitor
We track your active and prospective African counterparties continuously across the 44 markets you trade in.
Surface
We focus on exactly what insurers and global databases miss: the sub-insurable tail they decline, cap, or simply cannot see.
Verify
Local, on-the-ground sourcing turns rumour and absence into verified flags you can stand behind in a credit committee.
Price
Each name arrives with a clear risk read, so the desk can price the exposure, set terms, or walk, with eyes open.
What you get
A standing line of sight
Always-on feed
A continuous monitoring line, not a static dossier. Risk changes daily; so does your bearing.
Verified local ground-truth
Sourced where the counterparty actually operates, not scraped from a desk in another hemisphere.
44 Sub-Saharan markets
Coverage built for the fragmented African middle, where one country's playbook does not travel to the next.
The names insurers decline
We start exactly where your cover ends, turning the uninsurable into something you can finally measure.
Why now
African trade is scaling. The visibility hasn't.
Commodity flows through Sub-Saharan Africa are deepening, and new carbon-border and supply-chain rules are raising the bar on knowing exactly who you trade with. The counterparties driving that growth are precisely the ones the old data stops short of.
