    ON-SITE operations have ground to a halt for most small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore during the ongoing "circuit breaker", but some are seizing the extended downtime as an opportunity to implement new digitalisation initiatives.

    A number of them have sought support to do so from the one-stop SME Centres set up by Enterprise Singapore (ESG) in partnership with trade associations.

    First introduced in 2013, the SME Centres provide business assistance and drive capability upgrading. Some of the services they offer include one-to-one business diagnosis and advisory services, capability workshops and group-based upgrading projects.
