Global Commercial Credit LLC is an American trade credit and political risk insurance broker.

History

Global Commercial Credit was founded on March 1, 1996[1] by Craig Bonnell and Victor Sandy in Bingham Farms, Michigan.[1][2] The company targeted middle-market companies with revenues of between $50 million and $500 million, an area which David Brophy, a finance professor at the University of Michigan, said was underrepresented due to a trend towards larger banks.[2]

The company opened a second office, in Chicago, Illinois, in the fall of 1996 and reported that they had protected over $2 billion in receivables, representing five different insurers, after 10 months of business.[1] The company operates offices in Boston, Baltimore, Tampa, Chicago, and Cleveland.
