It
may be easier to expand your market than you think. Even small businesses can
get into exporting with the help of mentors and modern technology.Nearly 96% of consumers live outside the U.S., and two-thirds of the world’s purchasing power is in foreign countries. SBA's Office of International Trade provides information on
its Trade Tools for International Sales page to help small
businesses explore opportunities in other markets. Learn about
U.S. trade agreements, find information on regulations and laws, and
explore programs and services for small businesses who want to
go global. Small Business Development Centers can also help. SBDCs are hosted
by leading universities and state economic development agencies, and are
partially funded through a partnership with SBA. Their advisors offer free
business consulting and low-cost training services. To
