WASHINGTON, DC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/01/05 -- The business marketplace is rapidly becoming
less localized and more international. Import-export revenues are
increasing faster than any area of the economy. In fact,
National import revenues often exceed the gross national product of
countries with whom we trade. A major benefactor is small business,
work-at-home moms and entrepreneurs.
These import-export trends are expected to continue as communication and
transportation capabilities become more sophisticated. One entity that's
paving the way in this field is Government Publications, based out of
Washington, DC. They are dedicated to researching and publishing the
latest information about government grants, loans and other sources of aid
for small business and entrepreneurs.
Government Publications offers a complete business start-up kit for US and
Canadian residents on CD-Rom. It includes instructions for successfully
importing/exporting products from and to foreign countries. The CD reveals
how and where US and Canadian residents can obtain free grants and
low-interest loans to start a new or expand an existing business. It
includes contracting opportunities for selling products and services to the
US Government. It lists hundreds of importers-exporters according to
geographical area and type of product they buy or sell.
In addition,"Billions of loan and grant dollars have been earmarked for
people previously identified as credit risks," announced Terry Newborn, a
researcher for Government Publications. Money is available to purchase
homes, cars, start a business, and consolidate debts and many other
purposes.
"Now is the time to act if you need money for any worthwhile purpose,"
urged Newborn. He also reported that several
reduced-cost and even free programs now exist to benefit the economically
disadvantaged and recently unemployed.
