About this episode

The episode discusses the growth journey of Cocoba, a chocolate brand, and the challenges SMEs face when exporting internationally.

#Ad In this episode, we speak to Cocoba, a Kent-based chocolate brand, about its growth journey and expansion into international markets. The conversation explores the practical realities of exporting for SMEs: from managing cash flow and production cycles to navigating the challenges of fulfilling larger overseas orders. It highlights how delays between production and payment can place pressure on working capital, and why access to finance and insurance is often critical when scaling internationally. We also discuss the role of UK Export Finance in supporting businesses as they expand into global markets, including how government-backed trade finance can help reduce risk and provide greater confidence when taking on new contracts.
