Export Working Capital Scheme
Provides a partial guarantee to your bank in support of working capital facilities linked to specific export contracts.
How it works
When you win a high value contract or need to fulfil more contracts than usual, you may need a working capital facility linked to the contract to help you fulfil the order.
We can provide your lender with a partial guarantee for up to 80% of the credit risk of a working capital facility, pre- and post-shipment, meaning you can access more cash to fulfil the order.
There is no minimum or maximum value for the working capital facility.
Eligibility
To be eligible for support under our Export Working Capital Scheme, the transaction must satisfy UKEF’s eligibility criteria, which includes the requirements that:
- you must be carrying on business in the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands
- you must have entered, or be intending to enter, into a contract for the supply of goods and/or services with a company or other organisation that carries on business outside the UK
