EDC Direct lending
No fixed amount
Loan
Description:
EDC can provide financing to Canadian exporters to help support their global expansion plans, allowing them to increase their capacity for trade and capitalize their strategic international growth plans. We work to fill the market gaps left by traditional financing lenders.
We provide patient, impactful, non-dilutive financial solutions for Canadian companies, their affiliate, or subsidiary, to scale operations in foreign jurisdictions.
We work on a non-competitive basis, collaborating with you and your lender.
Various financing structures are available, including syndications, clubs, bilateral term loans and guarantees.
Pricing will be market based, or—if appropriate—follow Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) consensus arrangement terms, and commensurate with risk.
