Places
to start for help are the many associations.
They provide valuable information and
networking opportunities.
If
you need export
financing, the Export-Import
Bank or the Small
Business Association are eager to
help depending on the size of the deal.
The
U.S. Export Assistance Center (USEAC)
is the federal government's office which
promotes and assists businesses in exporting
and financing U.S. goods and services
worldwide. By offering the international
marketing assistance provided by the U.S.
Department of Commerce's U.S. & Foreign
and Commercial Service (US&FCS), which
includes the services of American embassies,
and the international trade financing
program of the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) at one location, the Denver USEAC
successfully simplifies and streamlines
exporters' access to federal export assistance.
