Exporting Your Services

What to Expect

About This Course

Export Navigator’s free e-course, Exporting Your Services, is fundamental for service business owners who want to grow their business beyond B.C. We’re here to help you navigate key concepts and gain an overview of exporting your services in an easy-to-understand format. 

The service export industry in Canada is a significant contributor to our economy. It’s been proven to be one of the most resilient industries, compared to cyclical industries that are more susceptible to downturns in the business cycle. Making up 18% of Canadian exports, services businesses are quickly increasing their annual growth, outpacing even goods exports. 

This puts service businesses in an advantageous position to expand their market with lots of room to grow. The first step is learning about exporting services – you’ll need to know which markets are best suited for your business, what documents you need, and other tips for success. Exporting Your Services will guide you through your export journey at your own pace, and equip you with the knowledge you need to get started. 

At the end of the course, you will:

• Have the knowledge and resources to export your service to a new market
• Learn how to find Free Trade Agreements
• Know your business’s potential financing needs and funding options
