In today's article, i will be looking at the news that social enterprises in Singapore are able to get more access to funding.
The article mentioned how social enterprises are now able to gain access to more funding, especially from banks such as DBS, where they offer loans at low interest rates. The article also mentioned that it is important for social enterprise to receive such help, especially after their start up, where they are entering the next period of growth.
In my opinion, i feel that such steps taken by banks are encouraging for the social enterprise sector in Singapore. It shows that investors and banks are having more confidence in social enterprises, by seeing them as a viable business. Even though there is no widespread social issues are poverty or hunger in Singapore, I do believe that there are still certain people that requires help. It is encouraging to see that banks are willing to make the extra effort and help companies such as Adrenalin, who hires youths at risks and people with disabilities. I hope that news like this will encourage the start up of more social enterprises, which is beneficial to Singapore.
