Looking for Export Trade Leads...

If your small business is interested in export related sales leads take a look at the Empire State Development Marketing Assistance Service Program. There you will find a description of the sales and marketing assistance program offered by New York State promoting "Made In New York" products. There is an application you need to complete to qualify for the program. On the federal level you may want to check out export.gov, which offers a range of market entry and expansion services (some for a fee). While your small business is getting new export sales leads, you may want to pursue the Small Business Administration's Export Loan Programs. There is a short explanation of the International Trade Loan Program as well as Export Express Loan Program and Export Working Capital Program. All normally require an application. If you are a UK SME, take a look at the UK trade and Investment International Trade Services for Exporters. There you will find information on trade sales leads (registration required) and UK Export Finance. A good overview of UK Export Finance is available on their Overview Page describing the various programs offered. www.erskine-law.com
