From Danish company to global business
Going from a strong Danish business to a company that wins orders worldwide is a big step. You often need to invest in capacity before foreign orders are secured, match competitors who offer their customers financing, and trade with customers and countries you know less well.
EIFO is Denmark's official export credit agency. We work with Danish banks and insurance partners, and through a loan, a guarantee or an insurance policy we share the risk – so you can say yes to large orders and establish yourself in new markets.
Financing solutions for your international business
Companies have different needs for capital and security in global markets. Here is how EIFO typically supports companies that trade or invest abroad. We always work together with your bank or other financing partners.
Loans and guarantees – capital to grow internationally
With an EIFO guarantee, we take on part of your bank's risk so it can lend you more. We can also add a loan of our own, so you can seize opportunities abroad.
This financial solution is for companies that want to increase exports or establish themselves abroad, where the bank can't cover the full financing need alone.
Export credit – offer your customer financing and win the order
The bank provides credit to your foreign customer, and EIFO guarantees most of the risk. Your customer gets long-term financing, and you get paid straight away. Dedicated SME guarantees are available for smaller exporters.
This financial solution is for exporters of capital goods whose customers need financing to buy.
Insuring your international business
A contract guarantee covers you if a foreign customer doesn't pay for the delivery. An investment guarantee protects investments abroad against political events such as war, import bans and currency restrictions.
This financial solution is for companies with large export orders or projects abroad where non-payment would hit hard, and companies building production or facilities in politically uncertain countries.
