Roland talks with US Trade Representative, Ron Kirk about growing small businesses and getting Americans back to work through exports.
President Obama has set a goal to double US exports in a effort to help create 2 million jobs. According to Kirk, 97% of companies that export are small businesses.
If you have a product that can be exported and need capital, the Small Business Administration will help you finance your growth. The US Department of Commerce has established a Gold Key Program that will assist in finding customers outside of the United States to purchase your product.
