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.

• The role of standby letters of credit in supporting bid, performance, and advance payment guarantees with reduced collateral requirements.
