NewCo Capital Group Continues Global Expansion as 2024 Milestones Set The Stage for an Ambitious Q4

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As Q4 fast approaches, NewCo Capital Group ("NewCo") and Australia-based Bizcap are finalizing year-end initiatives to strategically position both companies for an ambitious expansion in 2025. Both companies have celebrated a highly successful 2024, marked by remarkable and accelerated growth. This momentum has been driven by Bizcap's unique Line of Credit product, NewCo's introduction of their "Line of Capital" product and the launch of NewCo's new mobile app. CEO Albert Gahfi emphasized the importance of closing 2024 on a high note to set the stage for future growth. "We've had an exceptional year so far, but our focus is on what comes next. We're building the foundation for 2025 and beyond, ensuring that NewCo and Bizcap are positioned for continued global expansion." The plan for Q4 includes deepening their presence in existing markets while making calculated moves into new territories, including Singapore, Germany, and Luxembourg. "There are new opportunities in emerging markets that are currently underserved, where we believe we can make a significant impact. As a result, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for SMB financing globally." By reinforcing their operational and technological infrastructure, the companies are preparing to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global financing landscape. "2024 has been a year of strong growth, but we're not stopping here," Gahfi said. "We are focused on delivering innovative financing solutions that not only meet the needs of today but also anticipate the demands of tomorrow. As we head into 2025, we're ready to expand our reach and provide even more businesses with the capital they need." Part of a multinational collaboration, NewCo and Bizcap have successfully deployed over $1.5 billion to over 35,000 businesses worldwide. Gahfi commented, "We're moving capital faster and more effectively than any other sector and our clients are benefiting from that growth." NewCo's strength lies in its ability to adapt quickly, using a unique mix of proprietary technology, nuanced underwriting, and an experienced risk management team. The companies' hybrid approach is challenging outdated financing models, making NewCo a preferred partner for SMBs looking for custom capital solutions that truly fit their needs. "We're not just growing; we're leading," Gahfi added. "As we expand globally, our goal remains the same—helping small businesses scale, create jobs, and thrive." With a clear strategy and a relentless focus on delivering value, NewCo Capital Group is primed to deepen its market influence and capitalize on emerging opportunities. As the company prepares for its next wave of market entries, Q4 will serve as a pivotal launchpad for an even more ambitious 2025, setting the stage for continued growth and global leadership.

GREATER DES MOINES PARTNERSHIP'S SPARK DSM AND SCALE DSM PROGRAMS EMPOWER SMALL BUSINESSES TO THRIVE

GREATER DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greater Des Moines Partnership continues to bolster small business and entrepreneurial success with its innovative Spark DSM Business Incubator and Scale DSM Business Accelerator programs. Launched in 2022, these initiatives have become vital resources for small businesses of all backgrounds, including those from traditionally underserved communities, aiming to grow and scale within the Greater Des Moines (DSM) market. Spark DSM Business Incubator The Spark DSM Business Incubator initially started as a program of the Downtown Farmers' Market presented by UnityPoint Health – Des Moines. The Market team knew there were small businesses that would be good fits for the event that were not being reached by traditional application efforts and may not have known what it takes to be a Market vendor. The incubator model helped The Market reach new vendors and give them the opportunity to try out a booth space for a few times throughout The Market season to determine whether they wanted to apply to be a Market vendor for the following season. The incubator quickly expanded to include other major Partnership events such as the World Food & Music Festival presented by Veridian Credit Union. These signature events collectively draw nearly 1 million people annually to support local. Spark DSM has already assisted over 70 businesses since its inception. Notably, 23 vendors have transitioned to full-time market participants, with two opening brick-and-mortar locations: Nadia's French Bakery and Tullpa Restaurant, both examples of the program's impact on local economic growth. The Spark DSM Business Incubator is sponsored by EMC Insurance and Principal®. Scale DSM Business Accelerator The Scale DSM Business Accelerator powered by Interise, now in its third year, continues to elevate established businesses through a rigorous seven-month program. Scale DSM helps businesses gain access to knowledge, management know-how and networks needed to increase revenue, create jobs and positively impact the community. Participants complete Interise's award-winning and internationally recognized StreetWise program, which is centered around practical, case-based peer learning for small businesses. With 14 participants in 2024 alone, and 19 successful graduates over the past two years, Scale DSM exemplifies The Partnership's commitment to helping businesses foster long-term financial success. Led by Ryan Bhattacharyya, a Professor of Practice in Management and Entrepreneurship at Iowa State University, the accelerator attracts businesses across diverse sectors including food service, retail, construction and more. Scale DSM is sponsored by Wells Fargo. Success Stories Participants in both programs have flourished, leveraging enhanced visibility, community connections and business training to expand their customer base and establish their brands. "The Spark DSM Business Incubator has been a transformative experience for my restaurant in many different ways," said Gloria Henriquez, owner of Tullpa Restaurant, a South American restaurant that bring the flavors and culinary traditions of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia to DSM. "It has been pivotal in increasing our visibility and attracting a broader audience, helping to elevate my restaurant to the next level." "We keep growing, and the Scale DSM Business Accelerator has helped with a focus on understanding the finances, the product we are offering and how to leverage our resources to complete projects," said Perlla Deluca, owner and CEO of Southeast Constructors, Inc., a women-owned Latina business that specializes in Heavy Construction in Des Moines and the Midwest. "It has given me additional confidence and helped me polish my skills to acquire more contracts and have a successful plan ahead."

Richworks International Sdn. Bhd: Developing Unstoppable SMEs: How To Navigate and Conquer Economic Turbulence

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In the ASEAN region, one of the fastest-growing regions of the global economy, SMEs make up over 97% of all businesses. In fact, for both Singapore and Malaysia, SMEs contribute between 40-50% to their respective national gross domestic products (GDP) alone. However, these businesses already struggle with many obstacles, including a shortage of skilled labour, lack of financing options and government support, platform disruptions, and, most recently, inflation stemming from the ongoing global economic recession. Amidst all these economic and administrative challenges, what can SMEs do to protect and establish themselves? The answer lies in developing strong branding. When we refer to branding, this means becoming the first name that comes to mind when people think about a particular product or service. More than just a logo or a catchy name, this is about creating a lasting impression that distinguishes a business from its competitors amidst the market noise. To succeed, SMEs need to make their brand "loud" enough for customers to remember them when faced with a need. For example, what's the first thing that comes to mind if you're told to list out brands that start with the letter 'C'? There'll be a few that you think of immediately — and that is the power of strong branding. So how does a brand go about achieving this? Here's how you can get started. Your Customers and Community A brand that's perceived as accessible and responsive is more likely to be trusted and recommended by its customers, which means nurturing customer relationships is invaluable for long-term success. This goes beyond delivering quality products or services; it involves creating genuine connections with your audience. Engage with your community through social media interactions, community events, live webinars, or even local sponsorships. Alternatively, consider implementing programs that encourage customer feedback and participation — think loyalty programs or user-generated content campaigns. To this end, an effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM) strategy is your best bet. With a well-managed CRM system, you can create tailored experiences that increase customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty, all of which contribute to sustainable long-term growth. Utilise CRM tools to track customer interactions, segment your audience for targeted marketing, and automate repetitive tasks. Communication and Planning Successful businesses are often built on the foundation of strong leadership, and the most effective way to lay out the groundwork for that is through careful cultivation of the 3 C's: Character, Capacity Building, and Communication Skills. When you lead with character, you lead with integrity, resilience, and empathy, core traits that set a strong example for your team. Meanwhile, when you build capacity, you commit to fostering growth by embracing a mindset of continuous learning and staying adaptable. And let's not forget the power of communication! Being clear, honest, and open helps create a positive work atmosphere and builds strong, lasting customer relationships. When you focus on these areas, you set the stage for not just leading a team, but inspiring them to achieve great things.  At the same time, you need to remember that the future is not tomorrow — the future is now. Today's decisions and strategies lay the groundwork for tomorrow's success, which is why it's important to plan for the long term. Start by analysing current trends, customer behaviours, and market changes to anticipate future needs. Develop a long-term vision and strategic plan that includes scalable growth opportunities, innovation, and adaptability. Incorporate technologies like AI and automation to stay competitive and efficient. Remember, businesses that plan for the future are the ones that shape it. Money, Money, Money As obvious as this sounds, a steady cash flow is a business's lifeblood — it means funds for expenses, growth opportunity investments, and to weather unexpected challenges. Knowing how to manage finances effectively can be the difference between thriving and barely surviving, which is why understanding financial management is crucial. Learn and hone your skills, and use them to develop financial strategies that include diversifying income streams, reducing unnecessary costs, and planning for both short-term and long-term financial needs. Speaking of which, relying on a single revenue stream is risky, especially in today's volatile economic conditions. Knowing this, SMEs must explore investing in multiple revenue channels. This means diversifying your product range and the platforms and methods you sell them through. Whether you rely on regular physical sales, e-orders through your website, or platforms such as TikTok, Shopee, Lazada, or Instagram, each channel offers unique opportunities to reach different customer segments. Remember, your business needs to be where the traffic is, and being present on various channels can help you capture a larger audience. Clearly, economic turbulence presents both threats and opportunities for SMEs. However, with the right strategies, SMEs can not only survive, but thrive. In today's ever-changing business environment, adaptability and innovation are key to becoming truly unstoppable, and in this case, the best way forward is to join the party and face the challenge head-on.
