Finance and insurance for UK exporters
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.
UK Export Finance is the UK government’s export credit agency. We support exports for any size company and across all industries, from capital goods to services and intangibles like intellectual property. Our mission is to advance prosperity by ensuring no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance, doing that sustainably and at no net cost to the taxpayer.
Helping UK businesses
Our Export Finance Managers are based across the UK and provide impartial, tailored guidance to help your business export.
Finance for overseas buyers
Our International Export Finance Executives are based in markets around the world. They are the first point of contact in-country for overseas buyers and UK exporters contractors. We can provide overseas buyers with attractive long-term financing to ensure competitive terms when buying goods or services from the UK.
