Free educational videos promote Exporting by U.S. Small Businesses

The SBA, Inc. Magazine and AT&T, through a public-private partnership, have created a series of video modules designed to inspire and encourage American small businesses to actively pursue exporting and to educate them on how to do so.

The video series, Take Your Business Global, features five main topics that guide small businesses through the process of exporting:

Getting Started in Exporting;

Planning for Export success;

Connecting with Foreign Buyers;

Financing;

and five Case Studies of successful small business exporters

The videos begin with answers to the frequently asked question, Why Export? They feature SBA Deputy Administrator Marie Johns; U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke; U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Ron Kirk, and a variety of small business exporters. Other modules feature exporting experts discussing “how-to” take your business global. The videos are posted at www.inc.com/exporting.
