What are your financial needs?

Improving the company’s liquidity

Norwegian export companies and sub-suppliers selling goods and services for the international market often need working capital financing.

Financing investments in Norway

Norwegian or international companies that will be investing in export-orientated and/or climate-friendly projects in Norway with export potential can receive loans and/or guarantees from Eksfin.

Financing the purchase of Norwegian goods and services

Norwegian companies can increase the possibility of winning export contracts by offering international companies such as shipping companies financing from Eksfin.

Provision of guarantees for contracts

When negotiating contracts, many Norwegian companies find that customers demand a bank guarantee to assure that the supplier will fulfil its obligations.

Securing the company in an insecure world

In times of international political unrest, Norwegian companies involved in international trading may experience increased concern and risk of loss.

Other services

Norwegian export companies and subcontractors who sell goods and services for the international market may also have other needs than those mentioned here.

This is what you need to know about how Eksfin operates

  1. Eksfin offers financing to export companies, their sub-suppliers and customers, regardless of size. 
  2. Eksfin always cooperates with the company’s bank. Eksfin is a supplement to the private banking system – not an alternative. We aim to improve access to capital for companies through mitigation – not by replacing or out-competing banks.
  3. Eksfin receives payment in the form of guarantee premiums and interest on our loans. We participate in financing on the same terms and conditions as private banks.
  4. We are happy to discuss your company’s needs free of charge, and we are always willing to offer your bank, customer or sub-supplier a complementary courtesy meeting. Please contact us at an early stage in the process.
  5. In order for Eksfin to provide assistance, the company must be assessed as creditworthy by its bank connections.
  6. Eksfin does not give support, grants or subsidies. Nonetheless, we will gladly refer you to other government agencies who do.
