Small Export Builder
If you are applying for a multiple contracts policy, you may be eligible for the Small Export Builder.
This covers export contracts with your buyer and has an initial credit limit of 拢25,000. Once the policy is in place, if you can show that you바카라 사이트檝e been paid an outstanding balance of at least 拢25,000 due at any one time (from one or more invoices, 拢25,000 of which was insured under the policy) and other relevant conditions are met, you can notify UKEF of a 50% increase in your credit limit, to cover subsequent contracts with the same buyer up to the new amount.
You can keep doing this聽incrementally up to a maximum credit limit of 拢100,000, letting you access increased cover based on your positive trading history with the buyer. The Small Export Builder covers you against the same risks of loss as our standard export insurance policies.
The initial application process is the same, and UKEF will let you know you if you are eligible. To increase your credit limit you will need to notify UKEF.
