Ex-Im Bank Provides Financing to U.S. Exporters
The Export-Import Bank of the
United States (Ex-Im Bank) is the official export credit
agency of the United States. Ex-Im Bank’s mission is to protect
you against non-payment by your foreign buyers and to assist in
financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international
markets.
Ex-Im Bank assumes the credit and country risks that you are unable or unwilling to accept. The agency also helps to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing that other governments provide to their exporters — your competitors!
Ex-Im Bank provides working capital guarantees (pre-export financing); export credit insurance; and loan guarantees and direct loans (buyer financing). No transaction is too large or too small. On average, 85% of Ex-Im's transactions directly benefit U.S. small businesses.
Lawrence Blackburn, Business Development Officer for Virginia for the ExIm Bank (EXPORT-IMPORT BANK of the UNITED STATES - the official export credit agency of the United States) will be available to meet one-on-one with you at the Northern Virginia USEAC to discuss how to increase your export sales.
