UK Export Finance (UKEF) is the UK’s export credit agency, established in 1919. We support UK exporters, international project sponsors and buyers of UK goods and services, working closely with private sector partners, including banks, to offer a range of innovative and flexible export finance solutions.

Between 2021-22, UKEF provided £7.4bn in finance for UK exporters, and 81% of businesses supported were SMEs. UKEF can support UK businesses of any size and across all sectors, from capital goods to services and intangibles such as intellectual property.

UKEF has a network of Export Finance Managers based around the UK, who provide free and impartial consultations for exporters. They help UK companies to check they are getting the appropriate export finance support and, if not, guide them on how to bridge any gaps.
