Voice of SMEs - Labora[s]tory

Voice of SMEs - Labora[s]tory

It goes without saying that the Movement Control Order has been affecting businesses everywhere. The situation isn’t good and a lot of SMEs may be on the verge of bankruptcy soon if they don’t pivot or find other ways to make money. But according to Raymond Miranda, entrepreneurs could turn that sense of fear into creative solutions to save their business. 


Raymond is the CEO and Founder of a coaching consultancy called Labora[s]tory and was recently featured in an article on THE EDGE MARKETS titled ‘Ditching The Loop of Panic and Fear’ for local SMEs. We got in touch with Raymond to expand on this, as a slightly more positive way to start the week.
