Small-business exporters may face a problem in obtaining money from their lenders to buy or produce the goods or services to fulfill an export contract. They may not have the collateral to obtain sufficient working capital loans from their banks, particularly in times of tightened credit.

Enter the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the government's official export-credit agency. Although we do not compete with the private sector, Ex-Im Bank fills the gap for U.S. exporters when commercial export financing is not available. We specialize in developing markets and have a congressional mandate to help expand U.S. small-business exports.
