Identifying and mitigating risks is an integral part of any international franchise expansion. Fortunately, insurance is available for a number of risks franchisors commonly face as they expand abroad. To assist our Clients, Fluent In Foreign™ has developed extensive relationships with U.S. Government Agencies, as well as leading private carriers to offer a comprehensive Global Sentry™ portfolio of risk mitigation tools.

These tools include:


• Political Risk Insurance – protects against political violence, expropriation, creeping expropriation, nationalization and currency inconvertibility. It allows franchisors to insure their royalties and any investment they may have in the target country.
• Export Credit Insurance – allows franchisors to supply their clients with attractive open terms, while sleeping soundly at night.
• International Liability Insurance – designed to protect the parent company in cases where its franchisees or local subsidiaries are sued.
• Cargo Insurance – we offer unbeatable rates for complex cargo shipments.
• Medevac and Travel Insurance – protects company executives and employees during their trips abroad.
