The outbreak of Covid-19 has put the world’s economy and health under tremendous stress and dilemma.
It has implicated many businesses which resulted to mass bankruptcy and unemployment.

Hence, SME Association of Malaysia initiated the SME Emergency Unit Project to help businesses in terms of maximising revenue and minimising spending.

The 3 main challenges faced by businesses are:

  • Existing challenge (New & existing issues): accumulative of costs, cash flow from tight to distressed

The core elements of SME Emergency Unit Project are:

  • Business self-help: Good team management, well planning of cash flow are the core
  • Capability of business: organising, managing, agility
