Grow your business outside of Canada

You want the opportunity to enter new markets, pursue new customers or expand your operations without being hampered by lack of funds or fear of risk.

I need help finding new markets and customers

Our expertise and experience can help you do business in up to 200 markets worldwide. Discover our detailed country information, insightful economic analysis, informative publications and reports, or browse our events section for a variety of seminars, webinars and trade missions.

My customer is ready to buy but needs financing

Successful companies can’t always compete on quality products or services alone. Sometimes it takes that little extra, such as being able to provide financing to win an export sale. With our Foreign Buyer Financing, we can offer financing to your foreign customer.

My guarantees are tying up my working capital so I can’t take on new business

Having money tied up in guarantees can make it harder for you to seize new opportunities.  With our bonding and guarantee solutions in place, the financial institution that issued the guarantees can have the peace of mind it needs, and you benefit from increased cash flow to secure more sales.

I need to issue bonds but do not have the proper surety support

If you are having difficulties finding a surety company to issue a bond on your behalf, or your existing surety company has reached their limit, we may be able to help with our Surety Bond Insurance.

My cash is tied up in a foreign exchange contract

Foreign exchange providers 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 provider may let you keep your collateral, while you still receive the currency protection you need.

I have a foreign affiliate or subsidiary and want to insure its foreign receivables

We can extend our Accounts Receivable Insurance - which covers your full book of export business for up to 90 per cent of your losses against such commercial risks as your customer refusing to pay - to your foreign affiliates. Insurance coverage for everywhere you are doing business.
