SUMMARY:Webinar: Expanding Your Exports through EXIM Resources and Services
DESCRIPTION:If you had a box that contained the tools needed to grow your business and increase your profits\, wouldn’t you open it? The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) can give you those tools – and help make your export business successful. \nThe Turner Center for Entrepreneurship and Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at Bradley University are presenting a no-cost webinar focusing on foreign receivables insurance and financing with EXIM Bank – the official export credit agency of the US Federal Government. \nJoin us for a conversation with Mariel Huasanga\, Regional Director of EXIM Bank\, who will provide a deeper dive into the various tools EXIM has available for exporters.

In doing so\, the agency levels the playing field for U.S. goods and services going up against foreign competition in overseas markets\, so that American companies can create more American jobs.\nUsing the SBA funded I-STEP grant program to reimburse 50% of the EXIM bank insurance costs.\n\nAlso speaking will be Marshall Girtman\, Domestic and International Connector Sales Director for Special Mine Services Inc. in West Frankfort\, IL. Mr. Girtman will discuss their export journey and how they have leveraged EXIM Bank services to support their very successful international expansion. \nDate: Thursday\, October 24\, 2024\nTime: 12 – 1 PM \nRegister: https://Bradley.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMsd-Corj4pE9TJRBKlZpEWmWgKXcZiZ0aU  \nThis event is being presented by the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship and Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at Bradley University and co-hosted by the International Trade Center at Illinois Small Business Development Center at Champaign County EDC and Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC).
