SUMMARY:Are You Ready to Export? Meet the SBA Office of International Trade
DESCRIPTION:Are You Ready to Export? \n\n\n\nJoin us this week for a conversation with John Brislin\, Export Finance Manager for SBA’s Office of International Trade. 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 21 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. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn more about SBA export finance programs. \n\n\n\nMost U.S. banks view loans for exporters as risky. This makes it harder for you to get loans for things like day-to-day operations\, advance orders with suppliers\, and refinancing existing debts. That’s why SBA created export finance programs to provide lenders with up to a 90% guaranty on export loans. \n\n\n\nWednesday Webinars \n\n\n\nWednesday 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\, we will be focusing on export assistance\, featuring conversations with different members of the Washington Export Outreach Team (WEOT). Established in 2013 following a national mandate to do more to support international trade\, WEOT is a collaborative team of local\, state\, regional\, and federal export assistance agencies who provide you the tools and resources you need to sell internationally. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nJohn Brislin is SBA’s International Trade & Finance Specialist (Export Finance Manager) for Washington State\, Northern Idaho and Alaska. He has over 23 years of private-sector international banking and trade finance experience working at Bank of Boston (Bank of America) and Bank of California (U.S. Bank). John has over 12 years of public-sector export trade finance and risk mitigation experience working at Export Finance Assistance Center of Washington (EFACW)\, Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) and SBA Office of International Trade (SBA OIT). He looks forward to working with Small Businesses so they can turn their export opportunities into actual sales and to achieve the ultimate goal of getting paid—especially on time—for those sales.
