On behalf of the team at JDI, I would like to thank Ms Michelle Ling,
Business Advisor of SMECentre@SouthWest for her time to understand
our business, as well as patience to walk us through the details of
Enterprise Singapore’s grants.
What was particularly helpful was her clear explanation to differentiate the supportable activities and deliverables between business matching, inmarket business development and overseas market presence under the MRA-OBD category.
Ms Michelle Ling shared her insights and experience on best practices and pitfalls to avoid with the grants to help us speed through the learning curve together with our client projects. She also provided the quick summary and additional research on Double Tax Deduction for Internationalisation (DTDi), which we were previously unaware of. Thanks in-advanced for the continued support, and we hope to bring more Singaporean SMEs to establish their presence in Vietnam!
