What is Global Access for Small Business?

Global Access for Small Business is a top priority of Ex-Im Bank. This initiative is dedicated to dramatically increasing the number of small businesses exporting goods and services to maintain and create U.S. jobs. Global Access is being supported by a wide variety of business, financial and government partners and is part of President Obama's National Export Initiative (NEI).

On January 13, 2011, the initiative was launched by Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg with the Commerce Department, U.S. Trade Representative, Small Business Administration, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, and several lenders. - overview brochure (PDF) | watch a recent Global Access Forum Presentation (32:44)
