In the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic until now, SMEs is a sector that has faced many obstacles. Starting from financial problems, reduced capacity due to social restrictions, and to meet very high hygiene standards. These business actors need help to survive during the pandemic. In Jakarta, there are 2,700 SMEs that need business capital and 485 SMEs that need training to grow their businesses. Looking from that data, the Large-scale Social Collaboration for SMEs (KSBB UMKM) is here, committed to help the SMEs, one of them is by collaborating with Jakpreneur.
The Benefit Of KSBB UMKM
With KSBB UMKM, potential donors can easily determine the amount and the type of the assistance, and also to whom the assistance will be given. So each assistance provided will be more impactful and precise. The process of providing assistance has also become easier with the corona.jakarta.go.id website. On that site, we can find out what kind of assistance that business actors need, see the data of the SMEs distribution in the Jakarta area, as well as the data of SMEs in need, and register to become the KSBB UMKM collaborator.
Besides accommodating assistance from donors and giving it to business actor in need, another effort that is being done by KSBB UMKM is to grow the registered SMEs, through collaboration with Jakpreneur. Business actors who have become members of Jakpreneur will have the opportunity to grow their business through Jakpreneur programs. From training, mentoring, licensing, marketing, and financial reporting and capital support.
In order to make it easier for the Jakpreneur members, Jakpreneur has collaborated with various start-ups and government agencies. Collaborators from start-ups such as Gojek, Tokopedia, Shopee, Bukalapak, and Grab, are willing to provide support like training and platforms to sell the products. Meanwhile, collaborators from government agencies such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Higher Education Service Institutions (LLDIKTI), Bank Indonesia, and Bank DKI, provide support like training, coaching, and access to capital for SMEs from KSBB UMKM.
