COURSE OVERVIEW

The Certificate in Import-Export Business Management is a practical, 4-week intensive program designed to help aspiring global entrepreneurs launch and operate a fully compliant import-export company. Delivered through live instruction, expert mentorship, and hands-on project work, this program guides participants through every step—from business formation and compliance to trade strategy, licensing, documentation, logistics, and international marketing.

In addition to technical knowledge, the course places strong emphasis on personal character, mindset, ethics, and culturally responsive communication—essential skills for long-term success in international business.

The program concludes with the delivery of a customized Business-in-a-Box capstone project—a fully packaged, investor- and client-ready import-export company plan.

WHY START AN IMPORT-EXPORT COMPANY – INDUSTRY OUTLOOK & PROFITABILITY

International trade is one of the most dynamic and profitable sectors of the global economy. The U.S. alone imports and exports over $5 trillion in goods annually. Opportunities are expanding rapidly in sectors such as consumer electronics, fashion, agricultural products, automotive parts, raw materials, construction goods, and medical supplies.

Key reasons to enter this sector include:

• Low Barrier to Entry: With proper training and a few registrations (EIN, DUNS, U.S. Customs), anyone can launch a global business from home.

• Global Demand: Emerging markets in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia offer ripe opportunities for both sourcing and selling.

• High Profit Margins: Many goods offer markup potential of 20% to 200% depending on supply chains and logistics efficiency.

• Scalability: Businesses can begin as small part-time operations and grow into multimillion-dollar logistics, sourcing, or distribution companies.

• Cross-border Impact: Diaspora entrepreneurs can become economic bridges between countries, facilitating cultural exchange and wealth creation.

This course empowers individuals to participate meaningfully in this growing space with all necessary knowledge and tools to succeed.
