Free up working capital

​It takes money to make money, and our working capital solutions – many provided in partnership  with your financial institution - can help you get the loans, guarantees or credit you need to fund your exporting transactions.  You get a steady cash flow to keep your operations running smoothly, whether you’re trying to break into a new market, close a deal or expand production.

I won the contract but now need more working capital to fill the order

Our Export Guarantee Program gives a guarantee to your financial institution to help you obtain the funds to finance your ongoing operating expenses, costs associated with your export contract, equipment purchases, business investments outside of Canada, and more.

My customer is ready to buy, but needs financing

There’s no need to wait for your customer to arrange financing when you can offer them attractive terms through our Foreign Buyer Financing. Since we typically pay you directly and collect from your customer, this solution also frees up your cash flow.

I had to post a guarantee, and now it’s tying up my working capital

It’s not uncommon for a foreign customer to ask for a guarantee against your performance and having money tied up in guarantees issued by your bank can be difficult.  With our bonding and guarantee solutions, your financial institution may forego its usual collateral requirements, which means you benefit from increased cash flow.

Buying a foreign exchange contract has tied up my working capital

Financial institutions often ask for collateral before providing a foreign exchange contract to lock in your foreign currency exchange rate. With our Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee, your foreign exchange provider can let you keep your collateral, while you still receive the currency protection you need.

I need more cash to grow my international sales but my financial institution needs security

Knowing that your foreign receivables are covered against a wide range of risks by our Accounts Receivable Insurance, your financial institution may be willing to extend more working capital to you. 

I want to turn my receivables into cash

Use our Accounts Receivable Insurance to turn your receivables into more working capital.  Banks like the assurance that insurance can bring and may be willing to buy all or some of your receivables – known as Factoring - for cash.
