How it works
Export finance can support production, international receivables, guarantees, or other cross-border transactions. Trade finance and credit insurance can address different risks, so define whether the problem is funding, non-payment protection, or performance obligations.
Where it can fit
An exporter should map the full order-to-cash process: supplier payments, shipment, documentation, customer acceptance, currency conversion, and collection. Government-supported options differ between the United States and Canada.
Look closely at the trade-offs
An insured invoice is not necessarily fully collectible in every scenario. Review policy exclusions, eligibility, shipment conditions, foreign-exchange exposure, and lender security. Use current official export-program guidance for the business’s jurisdiction.
Your next-step checklist

- Contract and shipping terms
- Currency exposure
- Insurance and financing conditions
Crack this combination.
