Director
Yap SBDC
A
recently established partnership between the local SBDC and the Pacific Islands
Trade & Investments (PITI) has enabled eligible clients in Yap to access
bookkeeping assistance which aims at increasing the prospects of their business
proposals. This newly added product to the SBDC’s portfolio is made possible
through a capacity grant generously provided by the Auckland-based PITI which
has piloted similar projects successfully in Palau. With the primary objective
of enhancing the likelihood of eligible Small Micro Medium Enterprises (SMMEs)
in Yap to gain access to capital, expertise is being sourced from a local service
provider, D&G Bookkeeping Service, to mentor pre-selected clients to
develop financials of bankable standards that will enable lending institutions
to properly assess the credit worthiness of the clients as well as their
proposals and thereby enhance their rates of approval.
The
following are the key features of the new service being offered, which like
other services of the SBDC, is conveniently made available free of charge:
·
Installation
or revision of bookkeeping system
·
Mentorship
in keeping up system
·
Consultation
