International Trade

Description

International trade can open up a world of opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Did you know that 95% of the world’s consumers live outside of the United States?

Advancements in information technology and logistics allow most any business access to the global marketplace. If you have a Website, global consumers are checking you out. Interestingly, many U.S. businesses ignore international inquiries because of their perception of risk. Don’t ignore opportunity.

You don’t need to be an expert in trade. Let Widener SBDC assist you in finding new markets.

We can support you in a variety of ways such as: walking you through a transaction, identifying opportunities, investigating trade financing options or resolving a particular trade issue.

We work as a team with our Pennsylvania and Federal Agencies to make sure you benefit from all of our state and federal resources.

Our certified consultants can help you:

  • Determine the exportability of your products or services
  • Identify appropriate markets and buyers
  • Develop market entry strategies
  • Establish shipping and distribution networks
  • Determine appropriate payment methods and identify export financing and insurance needs

We work closely with other government agencies, including the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development; the U.S. Department of Commerce; and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Our international trade experts give Pennsylvania business owners an edge in exporting.
