Technology as success drivers for entrepreneurs this year

Franchise association sees Improvement, Integration and Innovation vital for SMEs this 2020

With the fast-paced evolution of technology in the lives of people and businesses around the world, some brands were able to adapt. Unfortunately, some were still left behind, particularly the Micro, Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs (MSMEs).

This is why the Association of Filipino Franchisers, Inc. (AFFI), the home of Filipino home-grown franchisers, believes that the 3 I’s—Improvement, Integration and Innovation—will be the name of the game for SMEs this year. Many MSMEs have to learn to fully embrace technology by integrating new systems that will help improve and innovate their business.

RCBC Savings Bank partners with AFFI to empower SMEs

RCBC Savings Bank (RSB) has reaffirmed its commitment to support Filipino entrepreneurs at the AFFINITY 1st Franchise and Business Summit 2018.

Organized by the Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc. (AFFI) and co-presented by RSB, the summit invited start-up business owners, franchisors and franchisees to 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.
