Export Finance
Export Finance Navigator
Export Finance Navigator is an online tool to help Australian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which are exporting or investing overseas to understand the export finance options that are available to them.
Export Finance Navigator helps cut through the confusion about how finance fits in the export journey. The tool divides the export journey into six key stages: preparing for export, finding markets, winning contracts, financing production, getting paid and expanding overseas.
At each stage, Export Finance Navigator identifies the export finance challenges a business may face and provides information about solutions to those challenges. As well as outlining the financial tools available from commercial institutions such as banks and insurers, Export Finance Navigator summarises the grants and tax concessions provided by federal, state and territory governments to assist current and potential exporters. The website then directs exporters to the websites of the commercial institutions and government organisations for more information.
Navigator is an independent source of information and is sponsored by Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC), the Australian Government’s export credit agency.
About Export Finance
Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC) provides finance and insurance solutions to help Australian exporters overcome the financial barriers they face when growing their business overseas.
As the Australian Government’s export credit agency, we help successful businesses to win, finance and protect export trade or overseas investments where their bank is unable to provide all the support they need. We work directly with exporters or with their banks to provide loans, guarantees, bonds and insurance products which can be tailored to meet the needs of both large and small exporters.
EFIC is uniquely placed to do this: we use over 50 years of export finance and industry expertise, contacts at financial institutions around the globe, the strength of our AAA credit rating and an entrepreneurial business approach to make export deals happen.
We practise responsible lending and uphold social and environmental best practice in the transactions we support.
If you’re an Australian business and have a viable opportunity to build Australia’s export markets, but financial obstacles are preventing you from moving forward, contact EFIC on 1800 093 724 or visit www.efic.gov.au.
