A One-Stop Shop

The SME Solutions Centers deliver an integrated package of small business-focused services under one roof. They support small and medium sized enterprises at different stages of business development to enable them to improve their business processes, human resources, structures, and products and services. As part of this process, participating enterprises graduate to a point where they are able to access finance through the SME Solutions Centers and, ultimately, from existing traditional financial institutions.
