In many instances, what stands between a business and its growth is finance and the right tools in place. This is specifically more pronounced in Small to medium enterprises that have more challenges to wrestle with especially post Covid. From sourcing finance, keeping the doors open to hiring more staff and scaling – challenges come from all directions of the wind for SMEs.

Small business owners often struggle to secure capital facilities from financiers due to inconsistent or non-existent financial track records and collateral assets for surety. Inevitably what this does is to demotivate business owners from appreciating and harnessing the entrepreneurial challenge.
