News: Support for exporters in Rotherham
Rotherham is hosting an event later this month for the region's companies to find out the financial support available to help them export.
Supporting Our Exporters is a free event being hosted by UK Export Finance (UKEF) and UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) on September 19.
It will highlight the services and support offered by UK Export Finance, the UK's export credit agency. UKEF provides government assistance to exporters of all sizes, principally in the form of insurance policies and guarantees on bank loans.
Businesses attending will be able to discuss the key issues they face in financing their export contracts, as well as looking at options such as credit insurance and loan guarantees.
They will also be able to hear from Jim Keir, the recently-appointed export finance adviser for UKTI Yorkshire and the Humber.
Jim explained: "Secure and reliable finance is vital to businesses that are looking to trade overseas, but this can present a real challenge to many exporters. For example, they may have found themselves having to turn down export contracts because they couldn't raise the necessary finance, or they may have experienced bad debts when dealing with overseas clients.
"UK Export Finance aims to support these businesses by providing guarantees on bank loans, credit insurance and overseas investment insurance, and this event is a great way to find out more."
The free event, run in conjunction with HSBC and Credit Risk Solutions Ltd, takes place from 8.45am to 12.45pm.
Places are limited, but to register your attendance, visit the UKTI website
