Tap the Global Market Through Your Ohio SBDC Export Assistance Network

Are you looking to expand beyond the Toledo Region? If so, we can help. More than 95 percent of the world’s population and two-thirds of the global purchasing power lies outside America’s borders, yet less than 1 percent of the 30 million businesses in the U.S. export. Small and medium-sized companies account for almost 97 percent of U.S. exporters, but still represent only about 30 percent of the total export value of U.S. goods (source: Ohio Development Services Agency).
Exporting enables companies to diversify their portfolios and to weather changes in the domestic economy, and the Ohio SBDC Export Assistance Network at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce can help. For questions, please contact Northwest Ohio EAN Director Nate Ward at [email protected] or SBDC Director Steve DeMaio at [email protected].
