Ten participants recently completed a two-day Small Business Financial Training at the PIPSO office in Suva on 24 – 25 January 2017.
The training which is part of the PIPSO Financial Toolkit was carried out by PIPSO SME Finance Specialist Leslie Massey to assist those wishing to undertake long-term strategic planning, cost & price their product, prepare a business plan, financially assess competing capital expenditure opportunities, know when & when not to borrow funds for expansion, gain an insight into funding from a banking point of view & how to assess the value of their business.
The Fiji Development Bank sent six of its employees to undergo the training whilst the remaining four participants were small business owners.
