We recommend
We are the UK government’s export credit agency.
In 2023-2024, we provided £8.8 billion of financial support to UK exporters. We support businesses in all sectors to export, whether you’re a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) or a large company.
UKEF’s guarantee to your bank can help you access the working capital you need to export, and our insurance policies may be able to cover you when the private sector can’t.
When it comes to exporting, having a great product or service is only half the story. Putting the right finance and insurance in place can make the difference, helping you to win contracts, fulfil orders and get paid.
Cash to help you take on export orders
Through our working capital solutions, we provide a guarantee to your bank to unlock trade finance facilities including loans.
Insurance to protect your business
An Export Insurance Policy can protect you against the risks of international trade and ensure you get paid.
Finance for international buyers
We can provide guarantees on loans made to international buyers to finance the purchase of goods or services from a UK supplier.
