Developed by the SBA's Office of Advocacy, ACE-Net helps small companies attract investors. The program is specifically designed for businesses that have capital needs that are too high for debt financing but too small to attract most venture capitalists. Companies can register online to have their company information viewed anonymously by accredited investors. The Ex-Im Bank is an independent federal agency that helps finance the overseas sales of U.S. goods and services. The bank also provides seminars and group briefings for small businesses.
