Financing

CGC Developmental Programme® was established in 2016, an initiative by CGC under Beyond Guarantee, to help MSMEs in their business journey.

One common challenge that many MSMEs face is obtaining proper financing to expand their business ventures. Furthermore, some may lack the necessary knowledge or financial literacy to explore new opportunities in new markets. MSMEs also have difficulties in remaining viable and sustainable. To develop and expand existing MSME capabilities, the CGC Developmental Programme® was introduced. The CGC Developmental Programme® is a comprehensive programme for MSMEs that provides Financial Advisory and Non-Financial Advisory. The assistance ranges from enabling access to financing, especially for those with no collateral, right up to finding access to new markets for their products and services. With 79,620 MSMEs reached as of December 2023, it has progressively grown since its inception in 2016.
