MO STEP=UP is Missouri's State Trade Expansion Program line, administered by the Missouri Department of Economic Development and funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. It reimburses eligible Missouri small businesses for approved export activities that help them become exporters, increase export sales, or create new export opportunities. The program uses advance approval, completion of the activity, and reimbursement documentation rather than a fixed one-time application close.
