Olympia — The Washington Small Business Development Center has launched an online export assistance portal for Washington small-business owners who want to explore and expand their international trade.
The no-cost portal includes an export readiness assessment, export resources, an interactive tool defining the trade process, and online training. This guide is designed as a resource for business owners doing some initial exploration and for those committed to moving forward in international markets.
The portal is at http://export.wsbdc.org and can be used independently or as part of one-on-one consultations with a Washington SBDC international trade specialist.
