In other words, financial strength is an indicator to measure the probability of a company needing the support of third parties such as shareholders, banks, government, or official institutions to finance and pay the company's debt (Salimi et al, 2017).Export is a set of actions and activities that are carried out to transfer the goods and services of commercial or governmental companies from one country to another for receiving currency or exchanging it for other goods and services (Moshabaki & Khademi, 2012). …”
