Problem
Foreign buyer finance is a critical success factor for Canadian small and medium-sized manufacturers
seeking to export. Despite demand, foreign buyer finance is an underserved market with low
competition due to operational challenges and cost of origination as small loan loans (US$250K to
US$5M) are generally unattractive to scaled players.
Solution
Elevate Export Finance Corp’s comparative advantage is its ability to originate and underwrite smaller
foreign buyer loans that are eligible for 100% insurance through Export Development Canada. Loans
are immune from credit loss, making Elevate the ideal partner for FIs seeking to expand their role with
SMEs, EDC, and who desire access to sovereign assets that pay premium to other government risk,
while enjoying the zero-risk weight such an asset brings to its balance sheet.
Exporters
Canadian SME’s will be able to compete in the global market place by offering medium term financing
options to their potential customers without impacting their working capital lines or having to discount
their receivables. This will allow them to pursue business in new markets and target many various size
clients.
Foreign Buyers
Elevate Export Finance’s solutions will allow them to have flexible payment terms which will be
incremental to their commercial finance as they would not require local bank guarantees. We will be
able to support their purchases by providing financing on purchases of relatively low dollar value.
Our competitive financing package follows an simple underwriting and acceptance process.
