Webinar: Making Capital Accessible for SMEs

This MSME Day, Financial Express is celebrating the unabated spirit of MSMEs through a 15-day campaign “Rebooting Small Businesses”. As a part of the programme, we have curated a list of articles, webinars, videos and infographics to help MSMEs turn the tide of the pandemic and grow their business. As a part of that series, Financial Express Online presents its first webinar on “Making Capital Accessible for SMEs”.

The pandemic brought out the glaring need to build the financial resilience of small businesses. The World Bank estimates that Indian MSMEs suffer from the current credit gap of $380 billion. No wonder, several SMBs are reporting to be either out of funds or having little less than one month of working capital left to continue their operations.
