AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

SME Finance: Northern Ireland’s Whiterock deployed €82 million to support small-business growth, while Botim and Geidea launched SME lending in the UAE. Festive-season guidance also urges firms to match borrowing to the cash-flow gap between buying stock and receiving sales revenue. AI & Cybersecurity: Two-thirds of small firms using AI now build their own tools, even as reports warn that governance is lagging. Small businesses are also being urged to assess cyber risks as AI use spreads. Scaling Up: Cheshire family business Avocet Materials has grown from distributor to battery-component manufacturer in five years. Its 29-person operation exports 99% of its products and has more than doubled turnover. Entrepreneur Skills: In Ghana, 88 entrepreneurs graduated from MTN and Nova Business School Africa’s six-month Mini MBA, which aims to strengthen practical management skills and business networks.
