SelectUSA — SelectUSA (Commerce)
Parent: U.S. Department of Commerce. Domains in this note: selectusa.gov.
What they regulate
SelectUSA is a Commerce program that promotes foreign direct investment into the United States. It does not license business brokers, M&A intermediaries, securities broker-dealers, or trade-finance desks. Commercial introductions still need the correct state and sector authority (and SEC registration when the activity requires it). Indexed ≠ endorsed. Distinct from a dedicated ITA slug (Trade.gov already covers ITA portals).
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
How to verify
- SelectUSA home — Federal FDI / investment-attraction program — not a state business-broker or securities licence register.
- Program materials — Prefer live selectusa.gov materials over mirrors.

Questions this page answers
Does SelectUSA license business or M&A brokers?
No. SelectUSA is an investment-attraction program. Broker/intermediary licensing is a different state (and sometimes SEC) path.
SelectUSA vs Trade.gov / ITA?
SelectUSA focuses on inbound FDI facilitation; Trade.gov/ITA are broader trade portals. BrokerMafia indexes SelectUSA separately and skips a duplicate dedicated ITA slug because /usa/agencies/trade/ already covers that layer.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
