BISNIS 
the NIS market resource at the USA Trade Center

In May 1999, BISNIS joined the new USA Trade Center in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. The USA Trade Center brings together key components of the U.S. Department of Commerce to serve as a single source for a wide range of export-related products and information. For more information on the USA Trade Center and its other components, visit its website at www.usatc.doc.gov.

BISNIS FinanceLink


BISNIS FinanceLink is designed to help U.S. companies seeking financing, where either 51% of a specific export transaction is U.S. content or a project where at least 51% or more of an overall project's goods and services could be satisfied by U.S. content. BISNIS FinanceLink creates an important link between the transactions/projects of U.S. firms and U.S.-incorporated finance service companies.

To participate in the program, companies seeking financing should fill out the form below and press the "Submit" button. Through BISNIS FinanceLink, your proposed transaction will be submitted to participating financial service providers generally within one to two weeks or submission.

NOTE: Information collected through BISNIS FinanceLink will be forwarded only to financial service companies registered with BISNIS. The number of financial service providers participating in BISNIS FinanceLink is growing and, at no time should be considered exhaustive. Aside from this disclosure, all information will be treated as confidential by BISNIS and ITA to the extent allowed under law. However, companies should be aware that such information may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552.

In addition to using FinanceLink, U.S. companies are strongly encouraged to consult the broadest variety of public and private sources for their transactions.

BISNIS FinanceLink is an informational service. Information collected on U.S. companies' planned transactions and transferred to financial service companies in no way constitutes an endorsement or guarantee of future performance of listed companies on any side of an export transaction.

Companies interested in one source of available sources of trade and investment finance should see BISNIS Sources of Finance for Trade and Investment in the NIS.

    Finance service companies wishing to receive these regular updates of planned transactions
  • must be incorporated in the U.S. and conduct their business in the U.S.
  • should e-mail their company contact information to BISNIS@ita.doc.gov

    NOTE: Exporters should also be aware that exports of certain dual-use commodities, technology and software from the United States to the NIS, as well as reexports of certain U.S.-origin products from foreign countries to the NIS require prior written export authorization from the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Export Administration (BXA). In addition, U.S. exporters must obtain prior U.S. Government authorization for virtually all items they export to third countries, including the NIS, if they know such items will be re-exported, in whole or in part, to embargoed destinations or entities. BXA is responsible for licensing exports of dual-use items to most countries of the world, including certain embargoed destinations (e.g. Cuba and North Korea) (see 15 CFR parts 739-744). The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control is responsible for licensing exports to other embargoed destinations and entities (e.g. Iran, Iraq, Libya and Specially Designated Territories) (see 31 CFR parts 500-597). We welcome your comments and questions about this service. You can reach us on BISNIS@ita.doc.gov or (202) 482-4655.
