When completing a large project, such as building a wind farm, a project sponsor may want to source goods or services from the UK. UK Export Finance (UKEF) can provide a guarantee to a bank making a loan to a non-UK buyer, with the provision that they source at least 20% of the contract’s content from the UK. The loan is typically repaid over a period of two years or longer and the buyer can borrow at fixed or floating rates of interest.
UKEF can consider support for corporate, sovereign and public buyers on a range of structures including:

• Limited recourse project finance
• Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
• Islamic finance (sukuk)
• Lines of credit
• Local currency financing
