Financial Assistance
Did you know your business could be eligible to receive up to $27,000 (per year) to help start or increase your exports and reach new international buyers? In addition, thanks to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed by Congress on March 27, 2020, there is financial assistance available to you and your company along with additional support from your local Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at SIUE. Questions?
Feel free to contact them directly at International-Trade-Center@siue.edu.
