Exporting to Expand Sales

If you have a website to sell your products or services, you have the potential to reach markets beyond your immediate borders! One of the best ways to begin is to take a the export questionnaires at trade.gov. Many of these questions will guide you into areas of the trade.gov website where you can obtain more information on exporting. You will receive a score once you complete the questionnaire, which will help you to assess your export readiness, as well as an identification of areas your business needs to strengthen to improve its export activities.
