Secure larger contracts

Bonds are often a prerequisite for large contracts. Export Finance Australia could support your business to meet the security requirements you need to win larger projects and deliver on your contracts. It can provide a bond directly to your buyer or support a bank-issued bond.

Customer case study: Alltype Engineering  

Utilising both performance and warranty bonds from Export Finance Australia, Alltype Engineering secured contracts with APA group and Lynas Rare Earths. Prior to this, Alltype Engineering’s largest contract was circa $40 million, but this jumped to $145 million with bonding support. Read more here.

 

 

Access the additional finance you need

Guarantees enable your business to access additional finance from your bank. Export Finance Australia could provide your bank with a guarantee to deliver an export-related transaction, access finance for pre/post shipment finance or expand your business internationally.

 

Customer case study: Senex Energy

Senex Energy secured more finance from its bank to help fund the $400 million ongoing costs to develop the Western Surat Gas Project and Project Atlas using Export Finance Australia’s guarantee. Read more here.

 

Unlock your cash flow

Delivering larger contracts can often mean significant upfront costs, putting pressure on your cash flow for ongoing operations. Export Finance Australia provides loans to support businesses for a wide range of finance needs, such as upfront mobilisation, cover materials costs and general working capital requirements for contracts.
