Financing, Security or Promotional Sources
1. Each state in the U.S. will most likely
have its own program for financing
exports form that state. The program may be in the form a guarantee for
commercials loans and may require a certain percentage of the product
originate form that state. It may only provide guarantees for up to a certain
percentage of the total loan and require that the loan amount not be less
than a pre-determined amount or greater than a higher pre-determined
amount.
2. EXIMBANK (Export-Import Bank). It can a) offer direct or
Intermediary
loans to the foreign buyers of U.S. products exported, b) guarantee com-
mercial loans made to credit worthy foreign buyers of U.S. products, and/or
c) provide working capital guarantees to U.S exporters.
3. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a program to promote the
export of of certain agricultural products.
4. The U.S. Small Business Administration can provide resources to exporters
in the form of direct loans, export revolving line of credit, joint venturing
with the Eximbank to provide assistance and other resources.
5. Mexico (and other Latin American Countries) can provide export assistance
in the form of loan guarantees, working capital, direct loans and promotional
services. In Mexico the National Export Commerce Bank (Bancomext or Banco
Nacional de Comercio Exterior) does a good part of this job.
