The Small Business Administration (SBA) has recently awarded the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s International Trade Team a grant to increase the number of small businesses in the state that are exporting, as well as the value of the state’s exports. The grant provides both new export services and reduced fees for some existing export services for qualified small and medium sized businesses. Small businesses in Georgia interested in growing their exports can now apply online for export services. By registering at http://trade.georgia.org for the state’s trade services, Georgia companies can also receive advance notice of international trade missions and trade shows.
Additionally, for companies interested in participating international trade opportunities, view the SBA International Trade 2012 initiatives.
