KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 (Bernama) — CIMB Bank Berhad and CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad (collectively “CIMB” or “the Bank”) reinforce their commitment to supporting small and medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs within the B40 group through CIMB MicroBiz Ready programme. The fifth cohort saw a participation of 55 women entrepreneurs who successfully completed and graduated from the programme.
In collaboration with Taylor’s Community, alongside programme partners EasyStore and MesinKira, the year-long programme serves as an avenue to help micro-SMEs future-proof their businesses through coaching and mentoring sessions focusing on core success skills including financing, leveraging digitalisation, business strategy as well as emotional wellbeing. In addition, the programme also enables participants to build their networks for their end-to-end business and marketing initiatives, whilst having access to guidance and evaluation of their progress. This is also aligned with Bank Negara Malaysia’s value-based intermediation (“VBI”) initiative, of which CIMB Islamic is a strong proponent, and a founding member of the VBI Community of Practitioners.
