Manufacturers urged to export following Brexit surge
A Midlands precision engineering specialist is urging fellow UK manufacturers to take a brave leap into the export market, after experiencing its own surge in exports following Brexit.
The package will include:
The Small Deals Initiative sees UKEF guaranteeing the loans of potential overseas buyers of British goods to make UK bids more competitive.
The General Export Facility also allows UKEF to support exporters’ overall working capital requirements, rather than requiring support to be linked to the needs of a specific export.
British businesses play an import role in global supply chains. The latest available data shows that nearly a quarter (23.7%) of UK exports in 2015 were embedded in the exports of other countries. This more flexible approach aims to give smaller business greater access to bonds and working capital.
