Make a meaningful contribution to the feasibility of an enterprise's exports.

Our reward:

* Monitor claim status.

* Compare incentive payment with amount claimed, verify variances.

* Where applicable, collect incentive cheques and deliver to exporter/beneficiary. Ensure that electronic transfers have been effected.
