My business experienced tremendous growth after I attended the 2020 edition of SME Clinic. I gained firsthand strategies to rightly position myself and my brand. My sense of how a business should run upped to another level. The in-depth and honest talks by the panellists, plus the grant I was privileged to win, helped me with the all I needed to rightly position and sustain my business during the lockdown.
