Small Business Administration

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Seattle District has recognized Richard Brinton as the 2022 Small Business Exporter of the Year. Brinton is the founder and president of Edmonds-based BBD International. Founded in 1997, BBD International began by exporting construction equipment. Today, Brinton's expertise lies in providing parts for high pressure waterjet cutting machines, pierce nuts, and military equipment. The SBA Small Business Exporter of the Year award – part of National Small Business Week May 1-7, 2022 – recognizes small businesses engaged in exporting for at least three years. Winners must demonstrate significant increase in export sales, profits and job growth. A celebration honoring local SBA winners from Washington and the SBA Seattle District, which serves Washington state and northern Idaho, will be May 4, 2022 at the Museum of Flight. Other SBA local awards that will be recognized at the celebration include Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Rural Small Business of the Year and Washington Small Business Person of the Year.
