  • Is Zetl the Answer to Startup and SME Financing?

    The world of business runs on credit.

    Whether it’s freelance photographer or a big manufacturer, odds are cash doesn’t land in the bank immediately after making a sale, no you’ve probably offered your customer some credit terms. This can sometimes lead to cash flow issues if you’ve got your own bills to pay.

    In response to this, a variety of working capital financing solutions have come about, and one of the newer ones is Zetl - Asia-Pacific’s first financing company for asset-light businesses.

    Zetl is headquartered in Hong Kong and was one of 5 companies identified and qualified for support by the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology and Innovation (MRANTI) under its MyStartupHub programme.

    Swimming is fun. Even more so with your family members, be it a picnic by the beach or an evening by the pool. On the other hand, it’s not as easy for couples with young ones to plan a water-fun day, especially with toddlers. But what if we told you that your 5 month thumb-sucking toddler can actually swim?
