Small to mid-sized businesses and even sophisticated start-ups facing domestic

obstacles to growth are exploiting previously overlooked opportunities overseas.

American firms exported $84.7 billion in goods in February of this year, up from

$82.2 billion in January. Exports of services continued to exceed imports by $10.9

billion in February although overall service exports were down slightly at $42.1

expenditures. Both sectors were aided by the strength of foreign currencies

against the dollar, a condition that, although somewhat abated, is unlikely to

reverse itself in the near term considering the stimulus efforts of the Federal

Government.

understanding and protecting against. Ober|Kaler's Chris Lonegro discusses.
