Export Guarantee Program

The Export Guarantee Program transfers a portion of your financial institution’s risk to EDC, allowing them to increase your financing. This flexible loan guarantee can be applied to both operating lines and term loans to support:

• general working capital facilities
• general capital expenditures, including term loans for equipment
• work-in-progress financing related to a specific contract or revolving facility
• Canadian Direct Investment Abroad for acquisition or expansion of a foreign affiliate, etc
• tax credits for federal and provincial R&D refundable tax credits, interactive digital media, etc
• foreign-domiciled inventory

For more information about how EGP can support your business needs, please reach out to EDC.

The maximum guaranteed percentage depends on the types of assets being financed and the size of the facility. Your total EGP coverage (under one or multiple EGP guarantees) is capped at US$25 million.

It varies. Fees are determined based on your credit rating, duration of coverage and the amount of financing needed. Fees will be discussed as part of the consultation process with you and your financial institution.

EDC, together with your financial institution, will review your international sales, lending agreement and other criteria to ensure the Export Guarantee Program is the best option for your business.
