Virtual Tech Speaker Series: Unlocking Global Markets by Leveraging Federal Resources Designed to Support Your Export Growth

Join us for an informative session where we delve into the various export financing products offered by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) and export assistance provided by the U.S. Commercial Service. This session will explore why these financial tools are crucial for small tech companies looking to expand their reach into global markets. We will discuss EXIM’s Export Credit Insurance Program, which can be a valuable resource to help tech companies compete effectively in global markets while ensuring they are paid. Additionally, we will cover a few other EXIM products designed to address the financing needs of US exporters and their buyers abroad.

On the SBA side, we will cover different types of SBA export loans, including the Export Express Loan Program, Export Working Capital Program, and International Trade Loan Program. We will discuss how these products can help small tech businesses manage the financial challenges of exporting, such as securing working capital, funding export orders, and financing international growth. Attendees will gain insights into the application process, eligibility criteria, and the strategic advantages of leveraging both EXIM and SBA export financing to compete effectively on the international stage.

The U.S. Commercial Service is the export assistance arm of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Our global network of experienced trade professionals is located throughout the United States and in U.S. Embassies and Consulates Worldwide.
