Organized by the Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc. (AFFI) and co-presented by RSB, the summit pooled together start-up business owners, franchisors and franchisees for a series of coaching sessions and sharing of best practices featuring well-known industry experts.
“RCBC Savings Bank and AFFI share the same vision of building up SMEs, more importantly Filipino entrepreneurs, and ensuring their success. That is why it is important to have all the good mentors you can get to help you in this journey. RSB is one of them,” said Elmer Aquino, RSB national product head for SMEs. Aside from supporting the business summit, RSB will also collaborate with AFFI to develop an SME loan geared towards the entrepreneurs’ unmet needs.
It has been since January 2018, RSB has been conducting a series of Grow SME forums nationwide to empower and mentor aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners with the right entrepreneurial mindset and financial management.
