Small Business Administration (SBA)

The Office of International Trade's mission is to enhance the ability of small businesses to compete in the global marketplace. As SBA's office for the support of small business international trade development, the Office of International Trade works in cooperation with other federal agencies and public- and private-sector groups to encourage small business exports and to assist small businesses seeking to export. Through U.S. Export Assistance Centers, SBA district offices and a variety of service-provider partners, we direct and coordinate SBA's ongoing export initiatives in an effort to encourage small businesses going global.

U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) will teach you about the exporting process at centers across the country. Located in metropolitan areas throughout the country, U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) support American small businesses that want to compete globally by exporting.
