Does your business want to export its products and grow its international sales? If so, the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) State Trade Expansion Program can help.
The SBA recently announced that $20 million in STEP grants have been awarded to 43 state and territory international trade agencies to provide financial support to small businesses in growing the volume and value of exports. Maryland is among those awardees.
States may start to solicit applications from small businesses now, and funding will become available to small businesses beginning on Monday, September 30, 2024.
Individual STEP awards are managed at the local level by state government organizations.
