INTRO TO EXPORTING
Exporting can be tremendously beneficial. It diversifies your customer base, exposes your goods and services to new markets, and helps companies become stronger and more resilient. And while exporting comes with its own set of challenges and complexities, San Diego’s Export SBDC and our partners are here to help small and medium-sized businesses access funding and resources to begin selling overseas.
If your San Diego company is exploring an international sales strategy, here’s your launch pad—our free library of short videos on the basics of market selection, export documentation and international compliance, foreign-trade zones, and more, straight from our seasoned Export SBDC advisors.
