What This Workshop Is
Practical financial knowledge for business owners, not bankers
Many Malaysian SME owners run their business by instinct. Revenue comes in, expenses go out, and somewhere in between there is either profit or panic. This workshop series is designed to change that pattern.
Over six weekly online sessions, you will work through real financial scenarios drawn from Malaysian businesses. Each session is structured around a skill you can apply immediately, not theoretical frameworks that gather dust.
Real case studies
Every session uses examples from Malaysian SMEs across retail, F&B, services and manufacturing contexts.
Self-paced flexibility
Live sessions recorded for replay. Attend at the time or catch up within the week.
Worksheets included
Every topic comes with a template you can adapt directly to your own business situation.
The Programme
Six sessions. Six skills that stay with you.
Each week builds on the last. By session six, you will have a complete view of your business finances from a position of clarity.
Separating Personal and Business Spending
A clear line between personal and business finances protects both. This session covers practical structures and habits that make the separation automatic.

Negotiating Supplier Payment Terms
Session Four
Payment terms are negotiable. Most SME owners do not know this or do not know how to approach the conversation. This session gives you a framework and the language to use.
Reading Your Profit-and-Loss Statement
The P&L is the most important document your business produces. This session breaks it down line by line so you understand exactly what it is telling you.
Putting It Together: Your Resilience Plan
The final session brings all five skills into a single one-page framework you can use and update every quarter. Leave with a document you will actually use.
Who This Is For
If you run an SME in Malaysia, this was built for you

Participants typically come from retail, food and beverage, professional services, e-commerce and light manufacturing. The case studies cover all of these.

Cash Flow
Why Profitable Businesses Still Run Out of Cash
Profit and cash are not the same thing. A business can show a healthy P&L and still face a cash crisis. Here is why that happens and what to watch for.
Business Structure
The Hidden Cost of Mixing Personal and Business Money
When personal and business finances blur together, it becomes almost impossible to know if your business is actually healthy. The cost is more than just accounting complexity.
Supplier Relations
How to Ask Your Supplier for Better Payment Terms
Most suppliers expect the conversation. Knowing how to frame the request, what to offer in return, and when to have the discussion changes the outcome significantly.
