Can you get the Export Grandslam?
The bad news is that new exporters do not generally qualify for the export grandslam, but if you are an existing exporter with at least one year of export experience then you could qualify for the Export Grandslam:
First Base: Department of Commerce Gold Key Program to find highly qualified and vetted Distributors or customers in your Target export country.
Second Base: one of at least three Small Business Administration Export Loan Guarantees to capitalize your export business.
Third Base: Export Import Bank‘s Export Credit Insurance to reduce the risk of non-payment by your export customer who required you to extend them credit to do business.
Grandslam Homerun: Center for International Trade Development’s STEP grant, export marketing reimbursement for example to pay for the Gold Key Program.
Yes, it can be a little complex since it deals with four different agencies but we can help you put together this phenomenal play and get an Export Grandslam. Just ask!
