15 Funding for NH Companies Export Expansion Fund (EEF) New Hampshire Matching Grant Program

16 Export Expansion Fund Public/Private Partnership Who can use these funds? The funds, via indirect grants, would be made available to all New Hampshire businesses, with a concentration on manufacturing companies with 1,500 employees or less in their New Hampshire locations. However, services companies, including educational institutions, travel & tourism, engineering and other service companies, may also qualify for the EEF. What can the funds be used for? Offset the costs of U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Commercial Service programs around the globe with the goal of enhancing and supporting international market expansion. Services could include, but are not limited to, the Gold Key program, International Partner Searches, International Company Profiles and Business Facilitation Services.

17 NH Matching Grant Program Made possible through the STEP Grant from the SBA The STEP program, which was created by Small Business Jobs Act legislation, awards grants to States for the purpose of furthering their efforts of helping small businesses prepare for new international markets, comply with trade regulations, access export financing, and participate in trade missions. Via a 1:1 matching grant, companies may qualify for up to $2,000 reimbursement for export related activities. Who can use these funds? Operate a licensed business in New Hampshire to manufacture, assemble and/or distribute a product, or provide an exportable service Be in good standing with the New Hampshire Department of Revenue and the IRS Meet the U.S. Small Business Administration s (SBA) definition of Small and Medium- Sized Enterprise (SME).
