Why It Matters
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, playing a pivotal role in job creation and GDP contribution. Yet, many SMEs struggle with limited access to capital, poor financial management, and unclear growth pathways.
This edition of the SME Clinic will focus on real-world solutions—helping entrepreneurs build resilient businesses capable of weathering economic storms and scaling for success.
“This is not just another webinar. It’s a hands-on support system for entrepreneurs committed to making their businesses flourish,” Ochugbua emphasized.
How to Join
The session will be streamed live via BDTV on YouTube, making it accessible to business owners, startup founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs across Nigeria and beyond.
Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your budgeting skills, explore investment options, or learn how to secure funding, the BusinessDay SME Clinic promises to be a game-changing resource for your entrepreneurial journey.
