SBF's MAP Initiative
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented economic disruption for companies. As companies recover and explore new ways towards growth, SBF has launched the MAP initiative to provide our members with a guided journey for economic recovery and transformation. As a pilot initiative, the MAP initiative accepts applications from SBF members in the Wholesale and Retail Trade sectors.
To benefit more SBF members across various sectors, SBF has also opened up Stage M of the MAP initiative to all sectors. Due to limited capacity, early registration is encouraged for this complimentary stage.

At Stage M, the business owner can select the most preferred online webinar before deciding on the next stage.
Progressively, at Stage A, workshops are more theme-specific and cater to a smaller size of no more than 15 participants per workshop.
