Manisah has been an exceptional business advisor. Her practical guidance and deep understanding of SME challenges have helped me make clearer, more confident decisions. She’s professional, patient, and genuinely concerned with my business growth. I’m truly grateful for her support and have already recommended her to two other fellow business owners.
From government grants to identifying growth opportunities, her insights were practical and relevant.
Ms Manisah has been a wonderful and invaluable business advisor to Bilberries Blue Pte Ltd and its associated companies, The Kind Grower Pte Lts and charKOL Pte Ltd.
Manisah helped us with exploring human resource grants that were critical in helping us employ our first employee at The Kind Grower. She listened intently to our needs and was very sensitive in asking difficult questions so that we have better clarity during the start-up stage.
For The Kind Grower, she also suggested that we explore the marketing development grants. She patiently explained the structure of these grants and we were able to access discussions with the marketing experts in helping our capability growth for a start-up.
For Bilberries Blue, when we were setting up out BB ROSEHut @ City Sprouts West Coast, she visited the site to understand our microsystems that we were settign up for programme development for inclusive internship and apprenticeship with Spectra School and ITE. In this wasy, she was able to point us to the SECUF funds, and helped in formulating the programming for community development.
We have completed our methodology piloCng now, and starCng our Sustainable Rural-Urban Development applicaCons to pair up micro-sites development in Singapore and Malaysia. Manisah was also very clear in explaining how we can export our IP and brand for overseas expansion. We had also explored brand expansion for The Kind Grower to Malaysia and Hong Kong. For charKOL, we are sCll exploring micro-fulfilment and ecommerce for our inclusive arCsts and arCsans. Manisah is ever supporCve and she is one person we can always count on to access any grants in any new innovaCve areas that we are trying to break new grounds for our inclusive sustainability adolescent and youth stewardship work in glocal economy and society.
We are ever grateful to have met someone as kind and accomplished as Manisah in our entrepreneurism and grants application endeavours.
