Abstract
This Cooperative Education report titled “Business Development Service for Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nepal” is an overview of my internship journey at Aadhyanta Fund Management Limited. This report focuses on the guidance provided to Small Medium Enterprises by finding gaps within their business, formulating strategies to help them grow and taking them a step closer to getting investment ready and potentially getting investment offers.The objective of this report are (1) To engage with a diverse array of SMEs, research them and administer detailed questionnaires to discern the intricacies of their operational frameworks, (2) To filter data and conduct comprehensive Capacity Gap Analysis for the SMEs, (3) To learn and tailor detailed Growth plans to empower the SMEs, (4) To apply learned theories for formulating financial forecasting, pitch-deck construction, and immersive workshops designed for investment readiness. Within the company I was working on the “Roof of the World” program, an initiative from US Aid in collaboration with Aadhyanta Fund Management Limited and, World Start Up. The program’s major goal is to uplift Nepal’s Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), towards the enterprises of Digital, Hospitality, and Tourism Sector.
This report not only outlines the methodologies employed but also delves into the experiential insights gathered throughout the internship tenure. It sheds light on the challenges encountered, the solutions devised, and the invaluable lessons I learned along the way. Moreover, it showcases the transformative impact of bridging capacity gaps within SMEs and providing them with various Business Development Services, illuminating the mutual relationship between empowerment and economic resilience.
