📦 Our #ReadyToDispatch report, which launched last week, shows most small firms have a real desire to trade their goods internationally.

🌍 Over 1/3 actively seek export opportunities; in contrast, 61% trade internationally by responding to overseas inquiries.

The graphic features an illustration of boxes ready to ship on the left side. On the right side there is text saying: "To enhance government support for small exporters, FSB suggests the Government: "- Ensure the voice of SMEs is strongly represented in the development of policy. "- Set new export targets that focus on SME growth, moving away from an overall value target, including growing the number of SME exporters to 20% by 2030. "- Integrate GREAT.gov.uk content under the Help to Grow umbrella to create a single business growth support hub."

💡 We've pulled together a package of recommendations to enhance existing Government support for ambitious and aspiring small exporters 🚢

The graphic features an illustration of boxes ready to ship on the left side. On the right side, there is text saying: "Over 50% of current and former exporters are unaware of the full package of Government export support."

💻 Our #ReadyToDispatch report shows that despite a suite of Government support on exporting, many small firms don't know about it.

📦 This highlights the tremendous opportunities these support services could bring to small exporters if awareness building and delivery of support are done right.

A quote from FSB Policy Chair Tina McKenzie saying: " 'Against the backdrop of rising costs, new customs and product safety requirements and potential changes deriving from the US election, our members still show an undeniable zeal for international trade. The forthcoming Trade Strategy and Small Business Command Paper must keep this fire in small firms alight.' - Tina McKenzie Policy Chair at the Federation of Small Businesses."

🚛 Our new #ReadyToDispatch report calls on the Government to commit to measures that prioritise small exporters, and help unlock their untapped potential for growth ✈️
