TRADE FINANCE
UK companies planning to participate in major capital-intensive Chilean tenders must include a financing proposal in their offer.
Chile has a range of locally available financing alternatives through both the banking sector and government agencies. However, the amount of money available for financing is limited, particularly in the case of large investment projects. In these cases, investors are recommended to use other alternatives such as syndicated loans, bonds, or financing through foreign organisations. International loans are subject to a tax on interest paid, based on the level of debt incurred by the local company. Details of different options are listed below:
Your first port of call should always be to the Department of International Trade (DIT), who can advise and potentially provide financing though its UK Export Finance scheme where appropriate.
