Targets underserved exporters for coverage

The application is for underserved U.S. businesses with limited export experience to obtain coverage for the repayment risk of export sales under the Equity Express Select policy. Applicants will answer about 20 questions, sign certifications on the reverse, and the form minimizes financial and credit information because the program does not provide discretionary credit authority to the U.S. exporter.

Simpler application: 15‑minute form

If you are an exporter applying for Equity Express Select Insurance, the updated application will take about 0.25 hours (15 minutes) to complete. EXIM estimates 500 respondents per year, with a total annual burden of 125 hours and a frequency of once per year, which reduces paperwork and speeds approval processing.
