Need help with exporting?

• The Department for International Trade (DIT) promotes British trade and investment across the world; helps UK businesses succeed in their international development; and provides advice, support, and international market knowledge to UK industry. If you have a question about exporting from the UK or would like more information on how to get started, visit the Department for International Trade for export guidance and services.
   
• UK Export Finance (UKEF), working alongside DIT, is the UK’s export credit agency. It works with over 100 private credit insurers and lenders to help UK companies access export finance (loans, insurance policies or bank guarantees that enable international trade to take place as easily and securely as possible). UKEF can support exports for any size of company, across all sectors. If your company would like advice about export finance, visit GOV.UK.
