Small Business Coverage

For investors seeking political risk protection, OPIC’s standard insurance products are available. Small Businesses with annual revenue under $35 million that receive OPIC loans are eligible for OPIC’s insurance “wrap,” which provides political risk insurance at a reduced rate. The insurance wrap covers risks associated with currency inconvertibility, expropriation, and political violence. No additional paperwork is required to process the insurance wrap. The small business loan borrower may elect this insurance coverage for up to $6 million of its equity investments. Pricing will be based on a one-time fee of $0.70 per $100 of coverage for the life of the OPIC loan up to 15 years.
