Export Finance Australia: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access loans, guarantees, and bonds to help your business grow through international trade.

Export Finance Australia provides financial tools to help businesses grow by selling goods and services to international markets.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for businesses that hold valid export contracts and are looking to expand their reach beyond the local market.

What you get

You can access different types of financial support to help manage your international trade activities. This includes loans to fund your operations, guarantees to provide security, and bonds to meet specific contractual requirements.

What it costs you

Using these financial tools is not free. You will be required to pay interest and various fees associated with the capital you borrow.

The catch to know

To qualify, you cannot simply apply for general business funding; you must be able to provide evidence that the funds are specifically required for export-related needs.

How to apply

  1. Review your current export contracts to ensure they meet the requirements.
  2. Determine which specific financial tool, such as a loan or bond, fits your business need.
  3. Prepare your documentation showing your export-related requirements.
  4. Visit the official portal to start your application: https://www.exportfinance.gov.au
