The International Business Accelerator, located between LAX and Playa Vista, escorts your products and services into the global marketplace.
The IBA @ LAX is an initiative of the non-profit LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce and while funding is available, no equity is required.
The IBA prepares three things for expanding into the overseas market:
1. Your company perspective and structure built to be a global entity, not just a U.S. company selling products overseas. Set it up correctly in the early stages.
2. Your product/service readiness such as labeling and compliance, market research, pricing, competitiveness and in-depth business plan.
3. Funding readiness. You'll not only have access to private funding (VC/Angel) and federal funding opportunities, but you'll learn how to write off up to 90% of the risk of every invoice you create through incentives available to U.S. exporters.
You read that right.
You'll learn risk mitigation so, for example, if a foreign buyer reneges or doesn't pay, you still get paid up to 90% of the invoice amount.
Just one of many tricks and tools of the trade waiting for ambitious go-getters looking to tap into the trillions of dollars of international commerce.
Apply now. Deadlines close June 23rd and space is limited. (Scholarships may be available!)
