Strengthen your competitiveness and reduce payment risks

EKN strengthens your competitiveness by reducing your payment risks. Financing becomes easier when EKN guarantees an export transaction.

EKN is a government agency that offers guarantees for payments and financing, together with advice on business structure and risk management. We insure payment risks in transactions to most of the countries in the world and make it easier for Swedish companies to export.

Facilitates your financing

With EKN's guarantees you can offer your customers competitive credit terms, which increases your opportunities to do new business. All companies, large and small, are welcome to us with their export transactions - both in existing and in new markets. Also if you are a sub-supplier to an exporting company you can use some of EKN’s guarantees. We try to find a solution that suits your specific transaction.
