Financing Services for Smaller Capital Goods Exporters

Export Development Canada (EDC)

Last Verified: 2005-12-05

Access to cash is one of the greatest barriers to growth experienced by Canadian exporters. Export Development Canada (EDC) has a number of solutions, offered in conjunction with your financial institution, which increase your ability to access working capital. 

Eligibility Criteria

This program applies to Canadian exporters.

Summary

New!

EDC can help you access a performance guarantee for your contract without tying up your cash or operating line.

  • Free up collateral held by your bank against foreign exchange forward contracts.
  • Secure financing for pre-shipment costs through a risk-sharing program with your financial institution.
  • Margin your accounts receivables into additional working capital through accounts receivable insurance or a receivables guarantee.
  • Convert your receivables into cash by selling them - factoring - backed by an insurance policy. 

Exporting your company's goods and services can present many challenges, including the possibility of exposure to corrupt business practices. Effective since 1999, the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act makes it a criminal offence under Canadian law to bribe a foreign public official in the course of business. For more information, see Export Development Canada's brochure: Keeping Corruption Out. *Note: To download publications in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat Reader is required (available free of charge).
