One way Global NY helps business export products and services is by connecting them to the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP), offering funding by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) through Empire State Development (ESD). For eligible companies, the STEP grant can reimburse a significant portion of your travel and lodging expenses, plus the participation fee.
To be eligible for a STEP grant, your business must meet SBA’s business criteria.
To find out more, contact Global NY directly to discuss the criteria and any questions you may have. Ineligible business includes law firms, non-profit organizations, retailers and educational institutions. Companies that act as intermediaries for others or are recruiting foreign investment are also ineligible.
The deadline for registration is December 1, 2017.
