The SME Investment Partner (SIP) programme is one of the High Impact Programmes (HIPs) under the SME Masterplan (2012-2020). The objective of this Programme is to enhance access to financing for SMEs, particularly those at early stage through the provision of risk capital financing. The Programme is a co-funding initiative between the Government and private sector with the aim to crowd in private investors to invest into viable SMEs. Under the Programme, SME Corp. will appoint the fund management firm referred to as SME Partner who is responsible to raise funds from private investors which will be matched by funds from the Government through SME Corp. Malaysia. This pooled fund will be channelled to viable SMEs in the form of loan, equity or a hybrid of loan and equity. The Programme is available for SMEs in all sectors including mainstreet firms that have strong high growth potential, innovativeness and in newly emerging areas. This is more well spread compared to current venture capital financing which are mainly for technology-based companies.
