EXIM recognizes that new businesses and businesses in less densly populated areas face unique challenges. The Emerging Equity Business Development team proudly offers support to these businesses, helping them gain access to the financing and connections they need to grow internationally.
How the Emerging Equity Business Development Team Can Help
Working with our specialized Emerging Equity Business Development team is like having an export finance expert on your payroll. Whether you are an experienced exporter or have yet to begin, our goal is to help you navigate the next step on your journey. We offer:
While international sales present many opportunities, they can also present challenges for exporters. EXIM endeavors to address the financial hurdles an exporter may encounter.
If safely growing your business is a concern, Export Credit Insurance covers commercial and political risks—up to 95 percent of the sales invoice, for either a single buyer or an entire portfolio of buyers. This allows your company to enter new international markets with confidence, increase sales in existing ones, and even offer competitive open account terms to foreign buyers.
If cashflow is a concern, our Working Capital Guarantee guarantees a lender loan, allowing for the purchase of finished products, raw materials, and equipment as well as cover labor and overhead costs. This credit line may also be used to cover standby letters of credit used as performance or bid bonds.
Finally, if your buyer lacks the credit to commit to a sale, our Loan Guarantee gives lenders the assurance to provide loans to foreign buyers purchasing U.S. capital goods and services.
If your company isn’t ready to work with EXIM or doesn’t meet our qualifications, we will help connect you to the right resource for you. Our Emerging Equity Business Development team has established many long-standing partnerships with organizations that have a minority trade focus. These connections will help us find the best match for your business, whether you need business coaching, market research, help meeting buyers, or more.
