In its continued effort to support Nigeria’s growing community of entrepreneurs, BusinessDay is hosting the April 2025 edition of its SME Clinic, with a focus on Budgeting, Investing, and Funding for SMES.
Happening virtually on Thursday, April 24th, 2025 at 12:30 PM, this session is aimed to help small business owners better manage their finances, understand funding opportunities, and make smarter investment decisions that can drive long-term growth.
“We understand how challenging it can be for SMEs to manage cash flow, plan investments, and secure funding in a tough economic climate,” said Linda Ochugbua, Digital Advert Manager at BusinessDay. “This SME Clinic is here to simplify that process and give entrepreneurs the tools they need to take the next big step.”
The session will feature a stellar panel:
– Ella George, Business Consultant
– Folajomi Adegbulugbe, Entrepreneur | Innovator
– David Lanre Messan, Chief Venture Builder, FirstFounders
– Paul Uzoho, Head of SME Business at Zedvance Finance Limited
-Olabode Odunniga, Investment Manager, Redwood Asset Management Limited
– Moderated by Ethel Adonu, Social Media Specialist
SMES remain vital to Nigeria’s economic framework, contributing significantly to employment and GDP. Yet, many of these businesses continue to face challenges accessing capital, managing budgets, or planning for growth.
The upcoming clinic will provide practical strategies that entrepreneurs can immediately apply to strengthen their operations and scale effectively.
“This is more than a webinar, it’s a support system for anyone serious about building a thriving business,” said Ochugbua.
The session, which will be streamed live on BDTV via YouTube, is open to business owners, startup founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs in Nigeria and beyond.
