Export Coffee Talk | Financial Tools To Help Compete Globally

Financing your exports doesn’t have to be hard. Join the EDPNC’s Export Coffee Talk on September 3 to learn how the US Export-Import (EXIM) Bank, commercial lenders, and trade experts help you protect against nonpayment, offer competitive credit terms, and unlock working capital for international growth.

Note that some EXIM Bank services are part of the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) grant offerings, meaning your company might qualify to have these fees reimbursed, so why not join and learn more!

Winning international deals often comes down to the financing. In this session, experts will demystify the tools that reduce risk and improve cash flow so you can sell more overseas with confidence. You’ll see how private-sector lenders partner with EXIM Bank to finance cross-border sales—and how North Carolina exporters put these programs to work.

Topics Covered:

• How export credit insurance protects you from buyer nonpayment—and enables open-account terms that make you more competitive.
• Working capital solutions (including EXIM and SBA-guaranteed lines) to fund purchase orders, inventory, and receivables.
• Practical ways to extend credit terms to foreign customers without tying up cash.
• Cash-flow financing options and alternatives to bid and performance bonds.
• Programs that support international buyers—so they can purchase more from you.
• A North Carolina exporter’s experience using EXIM-backed tools to grow safely.

Who should attend:
Owners, CEOs, CFOs/Controllers, export managers, and sales/finance leaders at NC companies seeking to expand or de-risk international sales.

• Susan Kintanar, Regional Director, Eastern Region, EXIM Bank
• Thomas Matthias, SVP, Global Trade, Regions Bank (EXIM & SBA Delegated Lender)
