Export Resources for Minority and Women Owned Businesses
There are significant resources in the United States that are specifically aimed at supporting Minority and Women Owned Businesses. This webinar will highlight the efforts by the US Export Import Bank (EXIM) and the US department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to meet the needs of these two important business segments.
Why this matters to your business
- EXIM can help you reduce risks of non-payment
- EXIM can help your business obtain working capital to support export sales
- EXIM can often provide your buyers with medium or long-term financing (when needed)
- EXIM authorized more than $400M USD in loan guarantees, export credit insurance, and direct loan support to Minority and Women Owned Businesses in 2019 and intend to increase that amount moving forward
- MBDA can provide export consulting and a national network to help you gain access to capital, access to contracts and access to new markets
Business challenges you may face without this knowledge
- Minority and Women Owned Businesses that don’t take advantage of these initiatives will face greater risks and miss business opportunities than would otherwise be accelerated with these tools
Who should watch this webinar
- Minority and Women Owned Businesses that are focused on export sales as a path towards business growth

Comments
This is somewhat misnamed and therefore misleading. It is a good primer on EXIM products/services.
Would be helpful to see presenters. Good details on EXIM programs and Minority promotion section of U.S. Dept of Commerce.
