EWCP Features:

Guarantees to support specific transactions or a revolving Line of Credit.
No minimum or maximum amount (though the amount requested will determine which agency will make the guarantee).

Ewcp Eligibility Criteria

Exporter must have been in business at least one year.
Exporter must be able to demonstrate financial strength to support a loan.
