Event Information

Learn how to navigate the risks around payment when exporting your goods and services. We will also cover some key areas of concern for both sellers and buyers before discussing contract performance.

This session is designed for goods and services companies concerned with payment risks.

We will begin by identifying key concerns for sellers and buyers, focusing on the export cycle and contract performance. Using the ‘payment risk ladder,’ we’ll explore various payment options like letters of credit and open accounts, discussing their implications for contract negotiations.

We’ll also address currency exchange considerations and strategies to mitigate these risks.

Finally, we’ll highlight services from UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK’s export credit agency, that can help you access more opportunities and provide best practice recommendations.
