Abstract

Accounts receivable insurance is a system in which small and medium-sized enterprises insure the accounts receivables acquired by the purchasing company, and the insurance company pays when the purchaser fails to pay the debts. Accounts receivable insurance is a very effective means of eliminating the risk of loss due to the counterparty default, and it is economically effective to protect the domestic industry by preventing the bankruptcy of one company leading to a chain bankruptcy of other companies. In this study, we constructed a business model of the accounts receivable insurance, by building an infrastructure based on a private blockchain in activating the accounts receivable insurance accounts. The accounts receivable insurance platform using these blockchain technologies not only addressed the problem of document and reliability verification for insurance, but also sought ways to facilitate accounts receivable insurance by small businesses through rapid transaction rates, easy network expansion and access management based on private blockchain.

매출채권보험은 거래상대방의 채무불이행으로 인한 중소기업의 손실 발생위험을 제거하는데 매우 효과적인 수단이며, 기업의 연쇄도산을 막음으로써 경제적으로 국내 중소기업을 보호하는 제도이다. 하지만 이러한 유용성에도 불구하고 중소기업들은 매출채권의 소유권 확인 및 이전 문제, 가입의 복잡성 등으로 현재 활용도가 저조한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 매출채권보험의 활성화를 위하여 프라이빗 블록체인(Private blockchain) 기반의 매출채권보험 플랫폼 구축을 제안하였다. 제안된 매출채권보험 플랫폼은 보험 가입의 편의성과 신뢰성 검증에 대한 기존 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 블록체인 기술을 기반으로 신속한 거래속도를 확보하고, 네트워크 확장의 용이성과 접근 관리를 통해 중소기업을 위한 매출채권보험 가입 활성화에 도움을 될 것으로 기대한다.
