course summary

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and innovation within our country. They are often the backbone of the economy, providing employment opportunities and contributing to the GDP. However, SMEs face significant challenges, both domestically and internationally. Domestically, they must navigate complex regulations, access funding, and compete with larger corporations. Internationally, they encounter challenges such as market entry barriers, exchange rate fluctuations, and global competition.

To thrive, SMEs must stay informed about national policies and leverage the resources and support provided by the government.
