Quick Guides to Export Working Capital Scheme


This page is about UK Export Finance's Export Working Capital Scheme.

The scheme is being introduced to assist UK exporters gain access to working capital finance (both pre- and post-shipment) in respect of specific export contracts. Under the scheme, UK Export Finance will provide partial guarantees to banks to cover the credit risks associated with approved export working capital facilities. Where a bank provides such a facility in respect of a UK export contract, UK Export Finance can typically guarantee 50% of the risk.

If you are a UK exporter, read the ‘Quick guide for exporters to the Export Working Capital Scheme’, which you can find on the right hand side of this page.

If you are a bank and want to join the scheme, read the ‘Quick guide for banks to the Export Working Capital Scheme’, which you can find on the right hand side of this page.

The quick guides are available to download in portable document format (PDF). Go to Accessing PDF documents, which you can find on the right hand side of this page, for more information on how to view our PDFs.
