Financing

Export financing can be a deal maker or breaker. Proper use of payment terms and export financing tools can help your company win orders and get paid. The AITC helps with payment and finance strategies, and works closely with the banking and insurance industry to secure a solution.

The AITC's flagship Export Trade (EXTRA) Financing Program promotes the entire family of SBA loan guarantees, especially SBA's export working capital and trade loan programs. Center consultants are familiar with many public and private sector programs and their various qualifications, allowing us to mix and match what works best for your firm. Others include EXIM Bank, U.S. Department of Agriculture, multilateral development banks, and state and local programs.
