West Virginia STEP Grant

Reimbursements will be awarded to eligible small businesses to offset some of the costs of developing new export expansion projects. This includes businesses that have never exported their products, businesses that have exported on a limited basis, or more experienced exporters seeking to continue to expand into new international markets. During the West Virginia STEP funding period, applicants may receive up to $15,000, which can be distributed through one or more export promotion activities. For each qualifying export promotion activity, small businesses may apply to obtain 75% of eligible associated expenses.
