3 Because the more products we make and sell to other countries, the more jobs we support right here in America… Tonight we set a new goal: We will double our exports over the next five years, an increase that will support two million jobs in America. To help meet this goal, we're launching a National Export Initiative that will help farmers and small businesses increase their exports… President Barack Obama State of the Union Address January 27, 2010 National Export Initiative

4 Announced March 11, 2010 by President Goal 1. Double exports in five years 2. Create two million new jobs Actions 1.Create Export Promotion Cabinet 2.Increase technical assistance 3.Increase export financing 4.Increase business advocacy 5.Strengthen trade agreements

5 The Export Promotion Cabinet, July 2012 To Maximize the Effectiveness of Federal Programs, the Federal Government will: (1)increase the national base of small- and medium- sized enterprise exporters by 50,000 by 2017, (2) expand the reach of federal export assistance including trade financing--and counseling to small businesses, and (3) ensure better delivery of export promotion services domestically and overseas.

6 U.S. Global Business Solutions Export Promotion Cabinet, Objective #2: Expand Access to Small Business Trade Financing 1) trade financing perceived as too complex by many lenders 2) not high volume nor profitable for lenders 1) reduce the complexity and present a streamlined package of financing options, 2) focus only on mainstream products with greater volume potential Problem Solution

7 Separating Facts from Myths Myth Small businesses dont export. Fact 296,000 SMEs (98% of all exporters) exported more than $700 billion in 2011, representing 33.3% of all known U.S. exports. Very small companies (fewer than 20 employees) account for 70 percent of all exporting firms. Find out how important exporting is to your state: http://www.trade.gov/mas/ian/statereports/. http://www.trade.gov/mas/ian/statereports/

8 Perception vs. Reality Lender Perception Lending to exporters is too risky Reality Out of all of the SBA Sub-program codes, the Export Working Capital program has the lowest loss rate and the lowest default rate.

9 Perception vs. Reality Lender Perception We cant use SBA export loan programs, since our bank doesnt have an international department. Reality An international department isnt necessary. The SBA/Ex-Im Bank USEAC Regional Managers will work with any bank to walk them through the process. SBA loans are made to your customer down the street, not to a foreign entity in Mexico, China, or elsewhere.
