Financial support and risk management

Luxembourg companies benefit from a wide range of tools available to support businesses of all sizes and sectors when engaging in international business.

The Office du Ducroire, Luxembourg´s One-Stop Shop for exporters for example, uses various financial instruments including credit insurance. In particular, the Office du Ducroire focuses on providing cover for political, credit, and financial risks to companies exporting and/or investing abroad.

Added to this, COPEL (Committee for the promotion of Luxembourg exports) provides financial support with promotional material, including translations for presentations, support for participation in trade fairs, seminars and conferences, advertising costs, export training and other consultancy services.
COPEL can provide financial support for up to 50% of expenses incurred, with a ceiling of EUR 200,000 over a period of three years.

The Luxembourg government offers further support through the SNCI (Société Nationale de Crédit et d'Investissement), a bank specialising in medium and long-term financing of investments made by Luxembourg-based companies. Amongst investments in innovations and fixed assets, the SNCI also supports exports.
