New EFIC product aimed at SME exporters


Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC’s) is to launch its new EFIC Headway financial product in Western Australia today, claiming it can boost access to working capital for small- to medium-sized exporters.

With EFIC Headway, qualifying SME exporters who have reached their financier's maximum capacity can borrow up to 20% more, provided this additional amount does not exceed their annual export turnover. The product supports general export funding rather than specific export transactions.

"ABS figures tell us that in 2005-06, exports from Western Australian exceeded the total amount of exports from NSW and Victoria combined," said Senator David Johnston.
