Macroeconomic trends can have major negative impacts on SMEs, affecting their survival.

A 2022 study in Singapore shows that only 42% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have enough cash flow to sustain their operations for six months or longer.1 The same study reveals that most SMEs prefer to ease up cash flow and improve liquidity with loans at lower interest rates.

Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, has partnered with licensed premium funding vendor Clearmatch to offer Premium Funding exclusively for our eligible clients.
