Last update: 5 hours ago

Malaysia Funding: Budget 2027 will support local halal businesses with certification assistance and help small firms modernize and reach export markets. Green Investment: Bulgaria plans nearly €83 million for SMEs adopting green technology, including equipment, software and circular production. Payment Costs: Australia has delayed a planned ban on credit-card payments to the tax office until June 2027 after small-business pushback. Growth Support: North Carolina is offering $2 million in grants for innovative small businesses, while New York City plans funding for firms hurt by roadway construction. Business Outlook: Just 26% of small firms surveyed forecast growth in the final quarter of 2026, underscoring the pressure many face.
