How a Working Capital Guarantee works

A Working Capital Guarantee allows you to finance your company's current operating expenses.

We assume the majority of your bank's risk, and with us behind you, it is more attractive for your bank to give you credit.

A Working Capital Guarantee can cover your operating credits and guarantees in relation to your company’s gen-eral exports or single specific export orders.
Case

Small crabs become a huge success with a Working Capital Guarantee

When small food company Carnad, from Løgstør in Denmark, had success with their crab extract, increasingly large orders began to put pressure on their cash flow situation. Eventually, they were forced to turn customers away. The solution was a Working Capital Guarantee from EKF and with this began the process of growth.

You need more liquidity

You are getting more orders, or bigger ones, and your business needs greater liquidity in order to fulfil them. Or perhaps you need credit to finance your day-to-day operations.

Your bank requests additional security

Your bank would like to give you credit, but wants security in case anything goes wrong. We can provide that security.

The paperwork

Your bank fills out a form to rate your company, and you sign a declaration. The bank sends both documents to us, and we run a credit rating check on your company. If your transaction is worth more than DKK 25 million, we also perform a CSR assessment of your transaction (looking at environmental and social sustainability).
