UK Export Finance
UK Export Finance (UKEF) is a UK government ministerial department and the nation’s export credit agency (ECA), whose mission is to ensure that no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance from the private sector, while operating at no net cost to the taxpayer.
UKEF helps UK companies access and benefit from export finance (the particular class of loans, insurance policies or bank guarantees that enable international trade to take place as easily and securely as possible). It exists to complement not compete with the private sector, providing support that fills market gaps and maintains UK competitiveness.
UKEF helps UK companies to:
- win export contracts by providing attractive financing terms to their buyers
- fulfil contracts by supporting working capital loans or contract bonds
- get paid by insuring against buyer default
UKEF can support exports for any size of company and across all sectors, from capital goods to services and intangibles such as intellectual property.
