The purpose of this article is to identify the factors that influence exporter behaviour for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Colombia. Information is analysed from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Colombia 2010, a report related to SMEs that became international within their first two years of existence. The authors used the systems of structural equations methodology, which permits the generation of a scheme of relations among the variables. Amongst the results is a model consistent with the literature on the theory of internationalisation, involving aspects related to the internal characteristics of the organisation, the business orientation of the directors, and aspects related to the business environment. The business directors' orientation is the most important factor for the development of exports (0,88), followed by internal factors (0,80) and the business environment (0,76).
