Export Week: Empowering Small Businesses to Go Global: Financing Tools, Tips, and Best Practices for Export Growth

Is your small business new to exporting—or ready to take your international sales to the next level? Join the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for an informative Export Week webinar celebrating World Trade Month this May.

This session will connect you with trade finance experts who will explain how to access export financing programs, find international buyers, ensure timely payment, and leverage capital resources to expand successfully into global markets.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How export financing and credit insurance can help small and mid-sized businesses compete internationally.
  • The difference between an asset-based and transaction-based line of credit—and when to use them.
  • Ways to secure short-term working capital or long-term financing for fixed assets, business acquisitions, and other growth opportunities.
  • How EXIM and SBA financing programs can help fulfill large export purchase orders or government contracts.
  • The role of standby letters of credit in supporting bid, performance, and advance payment guarantees with reduced collateral requirements.
​Learn from industry professionals who will share practical financing strategies and tools to help your business manage risk, strengthen cash flow, and expand confidently into new global markets.

Speakers:
Richard Foy, Regional Director – Eastern Region – Ex-Im Bank Richard.Foy@exim.gov
Joseph Raycraft, Regional Finance Manager – New England Region, SBA Joseph.Raycraft@sba.gov
