Government to spend $560mn to aid SMEs

One of measures the government will provide for SMEs is the 20% corporate income tax rebate.

According to the Budget 2011, many companies have seen significant cost pressures in the last year. The government will then provide a set of one-off measures for companies this year.

20% corporate income tax rebate, capped at $10,000 for YA 2011; or

SME Cash Grant amounting to 5% of their revenues in YA2011, subject to a cap of $5,000. This is meant to help small companies which may not benefit fully from the corporate tax rebate as they pay very little taxes. To qualify, these companies must have made CPF contributions in YA2011.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
