FT Consulting helps SMEs go abroad, but now invests in them as well
Its investment arm aims to get up to S$20 million in play in the next three years, but the company wants to keep consulting as a core activity
AFTER more than three decades of helping businesses go overseas, FT Consulting now invests in them, too.
While its original business of internationalisation consulting remains core, it has also developed two more units: equity investment and workforce training.
As chief executive officer Winston Chan summed up in an interview with The Business Times: “The three entities that make up the structure of (FT Consulting) seek to ready the client’s workforce, reshape the company’s strategy, and resource it appropriately and adequately as they enter overseas markets.”
