Objective
The Business Service Provider (BSP) program offered by the Office
of Domestic Operations offers both U.S. and non-U.S. professional
service providers the ability to promote their services to U.S.
exporters via the Web.
BSP is designed to help U.S. exporters identify professional
export service providers in their local communities, or in
another state or region, to assist them in the assessment,
completion, or financing of an export transaction.
Export service providers gain visibility for their products and
services within the exporting community via participation in the
BSP.
Participation Guidelines & Price
U.S. and non-U.S. professional service companies have the option
to promote their company on one or more U.S. websites. A listing
on a U.S. website costs $250, per year, per listing, and includes
the following:
• Detailed company description (maximum 500 words)
• Company logo
• Company contact information
• Corporate website link
Multiple listings thereafter can be purchased at a reduced price ($75 each). Annual renewals of BSP listings are offered at a discount ($135 each).
Participating companies can expect to receive initial counseling on the BSP service and a navigational tour of CS websites. During the registration process, clients will receive the specifications for a BSP listing, such as text limits, graphic requirements, etc.
Participating companies will also receive information regarding client responsibilities and CS quality assurances. Upon receipt of payment, the CS will complete a short qualification review of the participating client. Website development for the BSP listing will begin immediately thereafter. Professional service providers can promote their products and services in the following subscriber categories
