Quite literally, export markets can open up a world of growth opportunities for businesses. The Small Business Administration offers three Export Financing programs designed to make it easier for companies to do business internationally.
First is Export Express.
- Export Express loans can be used for any businesses purposes that will enhance a company’s export development, such as working capital, inventory or equipment purchases to expand operations.

The third SBA export financing program is the International Trade Loan Program.
