Together the Import Export Business represents:

• In 2016, worldwide exports totaled 16 trillion dollars. At the same time, exports of services topped 4.77 trillion dollars.
• In the U.S., only 1% of companies that are export-ready are actually exporting.
• That means that 99% of export-ready companies may be looking for someone just like you to close the gap and launch their exporting business.
• The best part about the Import Export Business is that every product, grown, mined, or manufactured and every service provided has unlimited Import Export opportunity.
  

Statistics tell us that only 1% of American companies export, and 70% of those businesses are very small, with 20 or fewer employees.

These small enterprises are very open to the services of an Export Management Company, or an International Trade Representative (or broker or agent) to assist them in areas of market entry, locating buyers, and negotiating the transaction.

If companies are not exporting (or importing), they are not reaching their full potential.

As a trade broker you can assist businesses in developing their international market-share, while getting paid a commission or professional fees.

95% of the worlds population is outside the U.S. – if companies are only selling domestically, they are only reaching 5% of their possible customers.

By the year 2020, there will be 1 Billion new consumers entering the global marketplace.

This means that technology and improved infrastructure will connect us to more buyers then ever before. New markets seeking new products.

The customer orders 10,000 units at a cost of $15.00/unit, for a total sale of $150,000. Michelle’s 15% commission earns her a profit of $22,500.00.

Only you can answer that question.  Think about some of the following considerations:

Look around the room you are in – do you see imported items? Someone moved those goods along the trade chain and made income doing so.

Competing globally is not an option – it is a necessity

“I am from Jamaica. I started this business as a way to not only make money, but to also bring better products at better prices to the people in my home country. Working with manufacturers in the U.S. and other countries, I have been accomplishing that goal. I have been able to quit my job and my business is really growing. The best part – I work from home, and I am the one profiting from my hard-work, not another company. It is a lot of hard work, but I enjoy it.”- Suneil

I enjoy traveling a lot. When I visit other countries, I see the people buying American branded products. I also see things produced and sold in those foreign countries that I KNOW would sell well in the U.S. I started this business just to see where it would take me and to use the extra income to fund my retirement. It is working out really well. Slow and steady wins the race, and I am growing my business one deal and one country at a time.” – Greg

“My business is janitorial and cleaning supplies and services. I thought of exporting and importing as a way to maximize profits. I import chemicals, and other supplies cheaper than I could buy them domestically. I then re-sell them and make greater profits. Recently, I found a buyer for some of my older equipment – I was ready to throw it away, but used equipment is popular in many countries. My only regret – I wish I had found this business sooner – I threw away a lot of money!” – Harvey L.

I don’t speak another language. Is this a problem?

No. You will find that in many countries, English is the language of the business community. Additionally, with translation software, it is easy to communicate via email between parties where languages are different. The U.S. Commercial services can also offer assistance in this area.

I have never had a business before. Is this difficult to operate?

Not at all. This truly can be a home-based business, with little overhead. Everything about importing and exporting can be learned in our training program. You bring the skills we can’t teach – motivation, drive, ambition, and life experience.

What about time? I work a job and have other responsibilities. Can I start this business part-time?

Absolutely. Another appealing aspect of this business is that it does not require a full-time commitment while you are launching. However, you do need to make some time and be consistent with your schedule. Remember, too, that you are servicing the world! When it is “after hours” in the U.S., it is “normal operating hours” in another country.

Money… you know… I don’t have a lot. Do I have to buy product? Or, have an outlay of cash for “hidden” items?

No – you never HAVE to buy anything unless you want to. In fact, we discourage you from buying product. You may choose to buy samples of product from time to time, but why use your money in the transaction when you can simply put the deal together, have the buyer pay the seller. Then you get paid your commission.

In 2016, total U.S. trade with foreign countries was $4.9 trillion. That was $2.2 trillion in exports and $2.7 trillion in imports of both goods and services.* That means that the Import Export Totals for just the United States generate $93,222,668. a minute. In the 30 minutes it takes to read this site the US Import Export Business traded $279,680,365. in that short period of time – and that’s just the US!

Let us show you how you can get your own Import Export Business.
