Credit guarantee Scheme or Export credit Scheme
Prashant | Tue Jul 23 13:43:05 2019
Dear Sir. We are small scale industry established in 2017. We started doing export at the end of 2018. But the export orders are big and need more working capital. We read on internet that government provides export credit to SME for buying raw material on credit. But to avail these schemes whom do we approach? Nationalized banks straight away refuses any kind of support. There are no loans or schemes available from nationalized for New business. Kindly guide us in this regard. Thanks
