Expanding into international markets is an exciting opportunity for Canadian businesses, but it comes with challenges like cash flow constraints, foreign exchange risks, and payment uncertainties.

From credit insurance to working capital guarantees, here’s how your business can benefit from EDC’s key programs.

2. Trade Credit Insurance: Protect Your Revenue

One of the biggest concerns when doing business abroad is ensuring customers pay on time—or at all. With EDC’s Trade Credit Insurance, companies can safeguard themselves from potential losses, boost cash flow, and confidently extend credit terms to foreign buyers.

How Kaeros Global Can Help: Asian markets often operate on different credit terms and business practices. We help Canadian businesses build trust with Asian buyers by structuring payment agreements that align with market expectations, all while securing your revenue with EDC’s insurance solutions.

3. Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee (FXG): Stabilize Your Finances

Volatile exchange rates can cut into profits and disrupt financial planning. EDC’s Foreign Exchange Facility Guarantee (FXG) helps businesses manage currency fluctuations by securing foreign exchange contracts without tying up working capital.

✔ Lock in favorable exchange rates
✔ Improve cash flow and borrowing capacity
✔ Reduce financial uncertainty in global transactions

4. Working Capital Guarantees: Strengthen Your Cash Flow

Maintaining cash flow is critical for businesses expanding into new markets. EDC’s Working Capital Guarantee Programs help companies secure financing by sharing the risk with banks and financial institutions. Key options include:

• Trade Expansion Lending Program (TELP) – Faster access to working capital through partner financial institutions.

• Export Guarantee Program (EGP) – Custom guarantees of up to $25 million to provide flexible financial support for exporters.

How Kaeros Global Can Help: Asian supply chains operate differently from North American ones.
