Practical approaches for corporates seeking bank financing - Workshop 2018

Action

Overview

When SME approach banks for financing, SME finds that key information could NOT be capped and some information are missing. Bad impression will be given to bankers. Also, there are a lot of papers to be prepared and obtained after meeting with bankers. Such preparations could take one or two months and might not even be suitable to bankers for assessment. In order to avoid the above scenario, SME should well prepare themselves in advance and present a series of useful and adequate information to the visiting bankers for assessments.

Key topics covered:

• Prepare a Presentation Profile outlining corporate’s activities;
• Gather useful and adequate financial data;
• Know your Business; and
• Prepare Competitive Advantages Report (highlighting corporate’s niche amongst its peer group)
