The SME Development Finance Corporation (SDFC) is organising a financial awareness workshop aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Maldives.

The event, set for April 26, 2025, will be held at the Manhattan Business Hotel from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The workshop, which is open for registrations until April 23, is designed to help SMEs improve their financial management skills. It will focus on key areas such as accessing funding, managing cash flow, and making informed financial decisions. 

SDFC, which has been providing financial support to SMEs to foster business growth and sustainability, is also offering various loan opportunities for entrepreneurs. In March, the agency launched a business assistance programme allowing SMEs to apply for loans to purchase machinery, equipment, and cover operational expenses.

In addition to this, SDFC has opened up opportunities in sectors such as tourism, agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, and information communication technology (ICT). These initiatives aim to provide further support and diversify the country’s business landscape.
