By providing access to loans, guarantees, and insurance policies, UKEF enables firms—especially small and underrepresented businesses—to break into global markets with greater ease. In the 2023/24 fiscal year, UKEF offered £8.8 billion in support, with initiatives like the General Export Facility allowing businesses to access working capital without needing specific export contracts.
