2015 – The Year of the SME
In 2014, we heard so much positive news for and from the SME community all year round - from huge investments pumped into the business segment by the government in the form of enhanced grants and assistance schemes, to start-ups and well-known brands successfully getting investments or selling off their businesses - the spotlight has been on the SME community.
So what can we expect this year? We hope it’s going to be even better with Singapore’s economy expected to grow by 3.7% this year. And since SMEs make up the largest business segment in Singapore, we’re eager to see growth in your respective industries.
In this issue, we share the most popular articles that offer key business insights in the area of sales and marketing, human resource as well as grants for your business. We’d like to share with you some of the things learned by us as well as by others in the SME community on how they’ve used technology to help mitigate the challenges they’ve faced.
In the meantime, we’re preparing to cover the upcoming Budget 2015 towards the end of Feb, summing up for you the key enhancements made to grants and assistance schemes. We’re anticipating more funding from the government for SMEs with the announcement, so stay tuned to our portal for the latest updates.
