Description

Exporting offers your business many opportunities, but it can also pose some risks. This is particularly true when trading in some markets. That is why managing those risks and getting the right level of protection is fundamental to ensure you succeed in that journey.

Please join us in this exclusive masterclass, in partnership with the UK Export Finance (UKEF), where you will learn about the importance of export insurance and the insurance products UKEF can provide to ensure you get paid when exporting to markets the private sector is unable to cover.
