The Micro Business Programme, which was introduced in 2005, is designed to assist individuals from low-income families to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit by equipping them with trade, business and IT skills to start a home-based business as an alternative source of income for the household. Grants are also be awarded to those who have a viable and sustainable home business model.
In March 2010, AMP inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the Entreprise Development Centre of the Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce & Industry (EDC@SMCCI) to formalise both organisations' commitment in enhancing the capabilities and growth of businesses under the Micro Business Programme. Participants are able to benefit from the wide range of business and IT advisory services provided by EDC@SMCCI such as mentoring and performance evaluation throughout the different phases of the programme. It is hoped that the programme will enable the participants to elevate their business to the next level.
