Glossary · The loan itself
In short
Export Express is an expedited SBA loan program for businesses that need funds quickly to support export activities. Buyers interested in businesses with international sales can use this for working capital or trade show financing up to $500,000.
This program offers a streamlined application process and a faster turnaround for smaller export-related financing needs. If the business you're acquiring has existing or planned export contracts, Export Express can provide capital for inventory, marketing, or short-term operational expenses related to those sales.
