Export Finance Australia export loan opportunity

Small business export loans for direct exporters

The Small Business Export Loan from Export Finance Australia provides small to medium export businesses with loans to cover up to 80% of the costs to secure an export contract or purchase order with an overseas buyer.

Small Business Export Loans helps businesses looking to grow through exporting.

The loans are designed to meet the specific needs of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), to help them take advantage of export opportunities when financial institutions cannot help.

Loans of $20,000–$350,000 are available, to cover up to 80% of your export contract(s) or purchase order(s).

If your business has export contract(s) or purchase order(s) with buyer(s) overseas, and your bank is unable to help, the loan could provide you with the necessary funds to help you secure the contract(s) and satisfy your cashflow needs.

What can the funding be used for?

Funding is available to:

• fulfil contracts and purchase orders
• develop your export market
• grow your overseas sales.
