Funds & Grants for Malaysian Women Entrepreneurs

Women entrepreneurs just starting out or wanting to expand their business often face the stumbling block of not having enough capital to move on.

In Malaysia, where and how do you go about finding business funding and grants?

Apart from the bank loans, public funding assistance are available through various government agencies. What are those agencies and the types of business assistance they provide?

How do you qualify your business to become eligible for bank loans, other funds and grants?

Quite a few questions needing answers there.
Come get your questions answered, and doubts regarding business funding cleared, at a one-day event this Oct. 8, organised by PAN or Penang Affiliates of NAWEM (National Association of Women Entrepreneurs Malaysia).

We have line-up speakers from government agencies and bank to share on business funding in Malaysia. The Chicken Rice Shop CEO would be there as well to share on how she grows the popular restaurant franchise.

More importantly attending women entrepreneurs get to network and share with each other their varied experiences in securing capital, big or small, to grow their businesses.

We designed this 'Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs' event to gather some 150 business and business-minded ladies for a fun and fruitful day by the beach.

Again the venue is Tanjung Bunga Beach Hotel, Penang on Oct 8 from 8.30am - 5pm. There is a RM70 fee to cover a buffet lunch plus two tea breaks. Please confirm your seat by Sept. 25, 2011 as we want to ensure sufficient door gifts for everyone.
