Swedbank and Mastercard have created a free platform for business development
Swedbank and Mastercard launched a free platform designed to enhance business development skills and offer practical tools for entrepreneurs.
Swedbank and Mastercard have teamed up to create an innovative free platform aimed at supporting business development for entrepreneurs in Latvia. This platform not only offers valuable knowledge to help businesses expand but also encourages users to engage with practical tools specifically designed for their development. It caters to both seasoned entrepreneurs and newcomers just starting out on their business journey.
The platform is structured into 11 modules that cover essential topics for budding and established businesses alike. Participants will learn to transform challenges into opportunities, develop products, create superior customer experiences, attract clients, and manage resources effectively. Other significant topics include pricing strategies for products and services, managing cash flow, assessing the financial health of a business, and understanding accounting, legal, and tax issues. This comprehensive curriculum ensures that users are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of running a business successfully.
Upon successfully completing all training modules, participants have the opportunity to earn an official certificate, recognizing the informal educational achievement that comprises six hours of instruction. The content was developed by the training company "Intea," indicating a focus on quality and relevance to the needs of the local market. This initiative is particularly significant in light of recent data from Swedbank showing a growing interest among Latvian entrepreneurs in obtaining further education resources to bolster their business acumen.
