Events

Join our partners with the SBA Seattle District Office for a conversation with Zara Castillo, Director of the Export Finance Assistance Center of Washington (EFACW). The EFACW was created by the Washington State legislature in 1983 to provide free export finance advice and counseling assistance to small and medium sized exporters or prospective Washington State-based exporters. The EFACW is a member of EXIM's Regional Export Promotion Program (REPP).

The EFACW provides consultation services in payment risk mitigation and export finance including credit insurance, letters of credit, foreign exchange, EXIM, and Small Business Administration export finance guaranty programs. EFACW offers businesses information how to finance and get paid for their export sales and also acts as a matchmaker for their banking relationship.

Wednesday Webinars with SBA Seattle is an ongoing series of free, virtual, webinars covering a variety of topics to benefit small business owners. On the fourth Wednesday of each month, these events will focus on export assistance and feature conversations with different members of the Washington Export Outreach Team (WEOT).
