The Export-Import Bank has made a
change to the report to have the
applicant provide the number of
employees or annual sales volume. That
information is needed to determine
whether or not they meet the SBA’s
definition of a small business. The
applicant already provides their name,
address and industry code (NAICS).
These additional pieces of information
will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the
extent to which its support assists U.S.
small businesses.
The other change that Ex-Im Bank has
made is to require the applicant to
indicate whether it is a minority-owned
business, women-owned business and/
or veteran-owned business. Although
answers to the questions are mandatory,
the company may choose any one of the
three answers: Yes/No/Decline to
Answer. The option of ‘‘Decline to
Answer’’ allows a company to
consciously decline to answer the
specific question should they not wish
to provide that information.
The application can be reviewed at:
