UK Export Finance

UK Export Finance (UKEF) is a UK government ministerial department and the nation’s export credit agency (ECA). UKEF helps exporters access working capital and manages the risk of non-payment by offering a government guarantee. It partners with private sector finance providers to grow UK exports and international trade. UKEF supports companies of all sizes and multiple sectors across the UK.

The department helps UK companies in numerous ways. It helps win export contracts by guaranteeing finance to buyers so they can source from the UK, it fulfils more orders by unlocking working capital to take on new or higher value contracts, and gets paid for their products and services with insurance against buyer default.

You can learn more about eligibility criteria on UKEF’s website.
