A comprehensive
financial product and service for vendors

As an OEM (own equipment manufacturer) or a
service provider to GLCs, MNCs and large
corporations, your business health in the
long term depends on the competitive value,
duration and depth of contractual
relationship with the buyer of your products
or services. An important consideration in
sustaining your business growth as a
contractor, vendor or supplier/distributor
of products or services to buyers is the
stability of the buyer-seller relationships
which leads to structured growth in product,
service and business development. However,
in order to retain these business
relationships and offer competitive pricing
and services, there is the constant need to
value add your offerings, upgrade equipment,
improve the speed of delivery, employ new
skills and generally manage a growing
business efficiently and effectively.
 |
Whether or not you are a main or a
sub-contractor to these large buyers of
products and services, there is the
continuous need to not only access financial
support to fund your capacity building, but
there is also the urgency to evolve your
business from downstream to more
sophisticated capabilities along domestic
and global procurement chains to continue to
operate and grow. |
As one of the key thrusts of the Ninth
Malaysia Plan is to move the economy up the
value chain and strengthen the country’s
implementation capacity to remain globally
competitive as a trading nation, the SME
Procurement fast tracks access to financing
and business development support for the
Malaysian vendor.

The SME Procurement is
unique in that it focuses on your
special needs as a vendor. While the
product is not targeted to start-ups and
new businesses (as the SME Start-Up may
be a more appropriate product for you),
a contract is sufficient for us to
proceed with the assessment of your
application. In line with the Ninth
Malaysian Plan, our objective is to
promote the development of homegrown
regional/global suppliers to the
international market. However, to
support your business along this
developmental route, the SME Bank and
its network of partners will coordinate
efforts to ensure that sufficient funds
and business advisory support is
extended to Malaysian vendors.
Special Funds

In addition, we may
also be able to match your business
development requirements with the
appropriate dedicated funds or
programmes which are being channeled
through the SME Bank. The main criteria
is the duration and stability of your
business relationship with local and
international buyers. Depending on the
business stage at which funding and
business development interest is
registered, you may also be eligible for
the SME Global which has been designed
to promote the export-oriented
activities of Malaysian companies.
Again, our officers will be able to
direct you to our other products on
application.
