Finance for international buyers

Flexible financing when using UK supplies

• • • The Standard Buyer Loan Guarantee provides a guarantee to a bank making a loan to an international buyer, generally for contracts in the range of £1 million and £30 million.
    • If you pay your suppliers in bills or promissory notes, the Bills and Notes Guarantee covers payments that are purchased by a financial institution from your supplier – meaning you benefit from extended payment terms and your supplier is paid sooner.
    • A Repeat Order Guarantee can be used so that the buyer can secure pre-agreed finance to support the repeat purchase of goods and services as and when required, without the need for a new application each time.
    • For higher value transactions, our Buyer Credit Facility can provide a guarantee to a bank making a loan to an international buyer, so that goods or services can be bought – from both UK and international suppliers. We can support loans in more than 60 local currencies
    • The Early Project Services Guarantee provides a guarantee to a bank making a loan to an international buyer to finance the purchase of design, engineering or technical services from a UK supplier for early project work.
    • Our Direct Lending Facility provides loans from UK Export Finance directly to an international buyer, so that it can buy from UK and international suppliers to complete overseas projects.

     

  • The Buyer Credit and Direct Lending products can be combined for certain transactions.
