DBS 'class' for startups, SMEs

DBS Bank has launched a new programme, DBS BusinessClass, for startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking for business advice and opportunities across Asia.

Delivered through a mobile app, the programme allows entrepreneurs to consult and connect with industry experts, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs. Members can also access news and articles on topics pertinent to starting and running their businesses, and attend exclusive networking events.

Lim Chu Chong, head of SME Banking, DBS Bank said: "We found that fast-growing SMEs need help connecting with investors and experts when they are scaling up their business. By building a mobile platform which allows SMEs to access business advice, insights and exclusive networking opportunities, we hope to help SME owners build social capital and sharpen their competitive edge."
