Both Missouri and Illinois companies are spearheading global trade and international transactions in the midwest and throughout the St. Louis region.  The international landscape is competitive, but startups and small to midsize businesses have an increasing opportunity in this environment. In the past decade, Missouri and Illinois has seen a growth of start-up companies that are involved in international transactions, such as manufacturing products overseas.  Both state governments have set up many programs designed for small businesses to succeed.  In fact, the resources are vast in both states for involvement by the small business community.
