These days it takes more than just a good product to succeed in export markets. It is just as important to be able to secure financing for your business transactions on competitive terms and to offer your buyer credit or an attractive financing facility.

However, the risks of international trade are often so great that banks have been known to refuse to finance export transactions without additional security. We can provide that security.

When EKF guarantees your business transactions, you have the best possible security – the backing of the Danish state. This increases the chances that your company and your buyers will be able to secure the necessary financing, giving your company a competitive edge on other suppliers.

EKF covers:

> If you want to offer your foreign buyers credit.

> If your foreign buyers need financing.

> If you need financing for your production.

> If you want to invest or establish operations abroad.

 

We will jointly put together a solution tailored to your company's specific requirements. When it comes to securing financing, companies typically opt for one or more of the following products:

 

Helps you to win export contracts if you are a small or medium-sized enterprise. Together with a bank, you can offer foreign buyers an extended credit period on specific export orders.

 

Enables your foreign buyer to take out a loan from a bank to pay for your deliveries. The guarantee furnishes the bank with security for the loan it makes to the buyer, so you can receive payment for your delivery while your buyer can repay the bank in instalments.

 

Makes it easier for you to secure credit from your bank to pay for materials, wages and suppliers. Allows you to retain export orders which you would otherwise not have the funds to take on.

 

Allow you to realise sound export transactions that banks are unwilling to extend loans to, due to the financial crisis. The loan is made to the foreign buyer to pay for your deliveries.

 

Gives you the means to take on large-scale and long-term projects abroad. The guarantee covers a substantial share of the risk in the project, and makes it easier to secure financing for the project. EKF helps you to put together a financing package.

Investment loan guarantee
Enables you to establish or purchase production facilities abroad with loan finance. The guarantee covers the main part of the bank´s risk and can often be the final piece of  the puzzle.
