SME Relief in Malaysia: Bank Muamalat is helping SMEs tap Bank Negara Malaysia’s new RM5b SME Stabilisation Relief Facility, with eligible firms able to borrow up to RM750,000 at a capped 3.75% profit rate and up to 80% guarantee coverage—aimed at businesses hit by global shocks. Entrepreneur Funding Boost: TEKUN Nasional’s Bumiputera financing fund jumps from RM500m to RM1b, with the minister pushing a faster “3C” process so approvals can move from weeks to about seven days. Local Business Pressure Points: In Alabama, Mountain Brook delayed a vote that would largely ban home-based businesses from seeing clients at home, while Birmingham’s nightlife ordinance is back in the spotlight after backlash from bar owners and workers. Tech for Small Operators: Nokia rolled out agentic AI for home and broadband networks, and Cyprus fintech Pale Blue launched a device-agnostic “tap-to-pay” app to cut costly card-reader setups for small merchants. Trade & Cost Watch: HMRC is preparing a tougher inheritance tax crackdown on wealthy Britons using uncertain legal arrangements—an enforcement shift that could ripple into planning decisions for business owners.
