BURIED deep in the Singapore government's Budget 2016 - past the Corporate Income Tax Rebates section, beyond the Enhancement to Revitalisation of Shops Scheme, and the assistance for small and medium enterprises - lies a scheme that I think will do more to boost the success rate of Singa-pore's entrepreneurs and startups than any tax break could.
The SG-Innovate scheme promises to "match budding entrepreneurs with mentors, introduce them to venture capital firms, help them to access talent in research institutes, and open up new markets".
As the co-founder of a fintech (financial technology) firm myself, I know exactly how challenging this process can be, and how useful good advice and mentorship are.
