How the estimate works

failing customers ≈ customers × sector rate
expected loss = failing customers × average exposure
loss avoided = expected loss × share of exposure cut (your assumption)

The expected loss assumes nothing is recovered from failing customers, so it is a prudent ceiling. Sector rates are orders of magnitude; your actual portfolio can differ widely depending on the size and strength of your customers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the simulation based on?

Indicative annual failure rates by sector, applied to the number of customers and the average exposure you enter. It sizes the risk; it is not a customer-by-customer forecast.

What is a sector failure rate?

The share of companies in a sector entering insolvency proceedings over twelve months. Hospitality, construction and retail are among the most exposed sectors in France.

How is the expected loss calculated?

Customers × sector failure rate × average exposure, assuming nothing is recovered. It is the amount at stake if nothing is anticipated.

How can this loss be reduced?

By spotting fragile customers early and adapting their terms: lower credit limit, deposit, shorter payment terms, guarantee or credit insurance. The slider lets you measure the effect with your own assumption.

Is my data stored?
