As part of its continued bid to support the growth of micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and equip them with the necessary tools to help them strengthen and sustain their businesses, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc is set to organise another MSME workshop for entrepreneurs.
The workshop, scheduled for Wednesday via Microsoft Teams, will host professionals who will share their experiences and give essential tips to MSMEs and business owners on how to take their businesses to the next level.
This workshop which will be in two separate sessions, will specifically target financial record-keeping in business which has been established as one of the major challenges that business owners face.
The Founder, Accounting Hub, Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze, will take the first session, giving insights and sharing practical knowledge on ‘Book-keeping and Accounting Basics for Small Businesses’, while in the second session, UBA’s Group Head, Tax Management, Emeka Amadi, will take participants though practical steps on ‘Tax Management for Small Businesses’.
UBA’s Group Head, Consumer and Retail Banking, Jude Anele, who spoke on the bank’s deep passion to help small businesses, explained that as the engine of any developing economy, MSMEs should be armed with the necessary tools to help galvanise their businesses, adding that this necessitated the regular MSME workshops organised by the bank to assist both its customers and non-customers to boost their businesses.
“UBA is committed to the overall growth of its customers beyond banking services, and the bank’s passion is hinged on ensuring that customers and entrepreneurs run businesses that can stand the test of time with the knowledge and experience required to take their businesses to the next level.
“Because of our interest in businesses and customers, we conceptualised the SME workshop to fill the existing gaps observed in businesses thus assisting them to learn new ways of doing business and how to package their businesses for increased patronage,” Anele noted.
UBA’s Group Head, Marketing & Customer Experience, Michelle Nwoga, who said the seminar is open to all business owners and leaders across Nigeria, reiterated its importance because of the long-term impacts which range from improved confidence, skills, knowledge and resources.
Participants who register for the Teams’ session here – http://bit.ly/UBA-MSME-Worskhop-Registration – will be trained in record-keeping, cost reduction, stock compiling, financial and taxation planning, maximising opportunities, financial planning and projections.
Nwoga explained that the bank is on the constant look-out for top business personalities who are able to share their growth strategies with other upcoming business owners, adding, “Our business leaders for this workshop are experienced in every sense of the word and willing to share insight with others on how to grow their business.”
