Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Malaysia’s economy, driving jobs, innovation, and community growth. Yet, many SMEs fall into what experts call the “missing middle” — businesses that are too big to qualify for micro-enterprise support but too small to access the funding, technology, and expertise enjoyed by larger corporations.
The Challenges SMEs Face
- Funding Barriers
Accessing capital remains a major hurdle. Banks often require high collateral, while venture capital tends to favour startups with hyper-growth potential rather than traditional SMEs. - Digitalisation Gaps
Many SMEs still depend on spreadsheets, manual processes, and disconnected systems. This slows decision-making and creates inefficiencies that hinder growth. - Compliance Pressure
With mandatory e-invoicing and rising ESG expectations, SMEs are under pressure to modernize. Unfortunately, many perceive compliance tools as costly or overly complex. - Talent & Productivity
Limited resources mean SMEs often struggle to hire and retain skilled staff, which directly impacts their ability to innovate and expand.
