        Financing tomorrow's trade

        Soft Commodities Trader

        Due to increased sales, a soft commodity trader required a receivables purchase facility for one of their large customers - purchased from Africa and sold to the US.

        Metals Trader

        Purchasing commodities from Africa, the US, and Europe and selling to Europe, a metals trader required a receivables finance facility for a book of their receivables/customers.

        Energy Trading Group

        An energy group, selling mainly into Europe, desired a receivables purchase facility to discount names, where they had increased sales and concentration.

        Clothing company

        Rather than waiting 90 days until payment was made, the company wanted to pay suppliers on the day that the title to goods transferred to them, meaning it could expand its range of suppliers and receive supplier discounts.

Export Guarantee and Insurance Corporation (EGAP) | Export Credit Agency (ECA) in Czech Republic

About Export Guarantee and Insurance Corporation

Export Guarantee and Insurance Corporation (EGAP) is a credit insurance corporation that insures credit connected with the export of goods and services from the Czech Republic.

It focuses on political and commercial risks that make certain exports uninsurable by commercial insurance brokers. 

EGAP insures bank loans that are due in over two years and are intended to finance the export of energy, machinery and technological systems, investment projects, transport constructions and investments. 

Such exports are usually headed to countries where the political, economic, and legal environment increases the risk of default. 

EGAP complements its range of commercial credit insurance products by acting as a standard export credit insurance company to promote exports from the Czech Republic. 

It provides insurance services to all exporters of Czech goods, services, and investments, irrespective of their size, legal form, or volume of insured exports.

A summary of EGAP

EGAP 2022 Annual Report

EGAP – Benefits of using an ECA in Czech Republic

  • State-backed insurance not only benefits exporters themselves, but also benefits their subcontractors and suppliers, who are usually small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
  • EGAP gives exporters an opportunity to seek business opportunities outside of the European Union (EU) in the rapidly growing markets of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
  • Businesses that export to these regions not only gain valuable revenue and experience, but will also gain references and connections for establishing new business contacts.
