"Our Company has found a valuable source of resources to boost our growth in such a short time. I found contacts for my supply chain, suppliers, and a whole network of companies and people to reach our goals. All the marketing research and database knowledge available under the Incubator and Accelerator Programs really work, and saves time in these days where companies have to implement changes and new ways to operate faster than ever."
"In just 3 months our company detected new business opportunities and implemented the strategies to get it, expecting a raise of 50% in revenues for the third quarter. Such a great support from the staff of the Free Trade Alliance and the IBDC Program, the best ever, keep going developing free trade for all."
Thanks for all,

"By way of this letter I would like to express my experience with the IBDC program in San Antonio, Texas. For me it has been a marvelous program, because generally everyone promises many things while arriving into the United States, and at the end they do not fulfill what they promise you. However, the IBDC program carries out everything that they promise and even more.
The relationship with the members of the program (Noel Olguin and Carlos Jarquin) has been more than work it is now a close friendship, they are always open to help, support, and help you with anything that you need. They are a very professional team and I wish there were some of these programs in my home country (Mexico). The experience is fundamental, since they let you see things how they really are, and they make your business a lot easier, more than what you could do by yourself.
This program helps you reduce the expenses that you would incur if you would have done it alone. The only thing that I could say to anyone is that without them, I would not be able to begin my business in the U.S. given that it is expensive and complicated. I show off the program like none other in Mexico about how wonderful this program is and how I recommend it to anyone. They got me in contact with the immigration lawyers and notaries in order to open my business, which are the best lawyers in Texas and with special rates given because of being member of the Free Trade Alliance. Only with the savings from these rates given by the lawyers and accountants you have already paid for the program.
They provide you an office fully equipped. There is no doubt that in the U.S. they know how to support entrepreneurs. Also Mr. Olguin introduced me with the personal bankers in order to get my mortgage, which he also told me that just for being part of the IBDC program my credit was already preapproved for the mortgage. What can I say; there is no doubt that being part of that program opens the doors in San Antonio."

"I am an entrepreneur from Cuernavaca, Mexico. My line of business focuses on the distribution of dairy products; my company is Alpura and it is located on the state of Morelos in Mexico. Few years back we began to think about going abroad with our products, giving focus on the huge population of Mexicans in the U.S. As I was bringing my business into Texas, my dear friend Arturo Garcia referred me to the Free Trade Alliance program called IBDC (International Business Development Center). Seriously, I was amazed with the offices and the cordiality in which one is treated there.
I have been a member of IBDC for over 4 months, in which they have helped me improve my business and networking through conferences, which they help you understand the business culture in the U.S. They are a team which they are always ready to help and do their best in order to get the projects done. Personally speaking, my project is in its final stages given that we are only the third dairy product company to get approved by the FDA (Foods and Drugs Administration) as importers producing in Mexico of dairy products. The only stages left to discuss in order to launch my business are the logistics in the U.S. and Mexico, get in touch with potential clients, and go through the paperwork importation; stages in which the IBDC will be supporting us in any way possible."
