Selling Internationally? EDC Has Tools to Help You Trade with Confidence

Exporting brings new markets, but it also introduces new challenges. The EDC Trade Impact Program is designed to help Canadian companies expand internationally while protecting their bottom line.

If you're navigating tariffs, delayed payments, or exchange rate volatility, EDC offers practical tools to reduce risk and strengthen your position.

Here’s what the program can offer:

• Trade credit insurance to protect against non-payment from international customers
• Foreign exchange guarantees to stabilize costs and avoid profit loss due to currency shifts
• Working capital support, where EDC shares risk with your bank so you can access more financing
• Expansion financing for growing your global footprint, including acquiring a foreign company

The program is suitable for businesses of all sizes, from those just starting to export or scaling up an established presence. If U.S. tariffs or global trade changes have disrupted your plans, these tools can help you adapt with confidence.

For a deeper look, EDC also offers a free webinar on financing strategies for international growth.
