Climb Aboard the Export Express
One of the purposes of my blog is to notify exporters of government programs that assist companies in different ways. Some are seminars, webinars and in the case of the Export Express program, which provides financing for L/Cs, translations, capital goods, etc. When I worked as an international trade specialist for state government, I saw how the Export Express enabled companies to compete globally. Often Export Express was the deciding factor in taking advantage of the export opportunity. 
Now the Export Express program is set to expire in a few months. In fact, there is a full committee hearing by the House Small Business Committee on Small Business Exports in the Current Economic tomorrow. If you have used this service you know how valuable it is. If you haven’t you can go on the SBA site and see all the benefits of the program. I think you will be impressed with the wide range of services.
If you agree that this is a valuable program and want to see it continue, you can help. And here’s how!
