Export Finance

Government-backed support for veteran-led exporters

Finance for Forces is a strategic partner of UK Export Finance, the government's export credit agency. That partnership gives the businesses we work with access to government-backed support built specifically for exporters, from working capital guarantees to help with the risk of not being paid by an overseas buyer. For a military-connected business selling into international markets, it is support that can be difficult to reach alone, and it is central to how we help exporters fund and protect their trade.

What can the funding be used for?

  • Fulfilling confirmed orders from overseas customers.
  • Providing working capital while you wait on longer international payment terms.
  • Protecting the business against the risk of an overseas buyer not paying.
  • Growing into new export markets with the funding in place to support it.

Flexible features

Access to UK Export Finance:  Through our partnership, a route to government-backed guarantees and support designed for exporters.


Working capital for export orders:  Funding to fulfil overseas contracts that sit outside the reach of ordinary domestic facilities.


Protection against non-payment:  Cover for the risk of an overseas customer failing to pay, so a single bad debt abroad does not threaten the business.


Support at every stage:  From your first export order to sustained international trade, the funding scales with your ambition.

Eligibility

  • UK-based business selling, or preparing to sell, overseas.
  • A confirmed export order, contract or credible export plan.
  • Business-to-business trading.
  • Suitability for UK Export Finance support is assessed case by case, and we guide you through it.
