Free advice on financing exports and managing payment risks

An Export Finance Manager can explain overseas payment methods and risks, the types of finance available, trade finance before and after an export, and export insurance. They can introduce finance providers, insurers, brokers and trade support organisations.

If UK Export Finance support is suitable, the manager can explain the available products and help you prepare an application.

UK Export Finance supports companies of all sizes and sectors, including businesses exporting goods, services or intellectual property.²

The managers are based across the UK and advise businesses about their export finance needs. The service is available to businesses in Greater Manchester as part of this national coverage.

The Export Finance Manager’s initial guidance is free and impartial.

Use the official UK Export Finance contact form. It asks for a work email and phone number, with fields for your name, company and a description of the help you need. Complete the verification on the form and submit your enquiry to UK Export Finance.³

Explain your export experience, the markets you have sold to, the challenges you face and whether you have spoken to your bank or broker.
