1. Describe your needs- Answer a few questions about your business in as little as five minutes.
2. Get matched in two days- Receive an email with contact information of lenders who express interest in your loan.
3. Talk to lenders- Compare rates, terms, fees, and more.
4. Apply for a loan- Submit loan applications and paperwork. You're well on your way to securing a business loan.

On Sunday, September 27, 2020, the U.S Small Business Administration marked the 10th anniversary of the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) – a program dedicated to helping small businesses just like yours find global success. For the last decade, STEP has awarded 302 state grants, which averaged over $518,000 in funding to all 50 states and U.S. Territories for a total of more than $156,000,000, generating nearly $1.8 billion in exports. The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 created STEP in partnership with U.S. states and territories to assist small businesses with entering and expanding into international markets.
