EnterpriseSG and CEB to boost financing for Singapore firms' overseas expansion

The initiative will support EnterpriseSG's enterprise financing scheme.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and Credit Europe Bank N.V. (CEB) signed an agreement to enhance financing access for Singapore companies venturing overseas. 

This financing partnership will initially focus on international trade and commodity financing, with plans to expand to other products.

The agreement was part of EnterpriseSG’s Enterprise Financing Scheme – Foreign-based Financial Institutions (EFS-FFI), which enables Singapore companies to tap new financing sources from selected foreign-based financial institutions when expanding overseas.

The EFS-FFI provides risk-sharing of up to 50% to support lending to Singapore companies from partner foreign-based financial institutions covering a range of financing facilities, including working capital, fixed assets, trade, project, and mergers & acquisitions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
