Private credit has quietly become one of the fastest-growing corners of global finance, but most Malaysian business owners and investors have never heard of it. So what is it, how does it work, and is it right for you?

We discuss:


What it is: How it differs from bank loans and private equity, and why it exists at all.


The Must-Knows: What providers look at before and what borrowers are actually signing up for.


The Borrower's Checklist: What business owners need to understand about cost and structure before taking on private credit.


When Is It Suitable: Private credit is expensive, but for business owners confident in their growth trajectory, the flexibility it offers may be worth the premium.

Private Credit: Is It Right for Your Business?

Most business owners buy insurance and file it away — relieved it's done, hoping they never need it. But the moment something goes wrong, that's when the real work begins. And more often than not, businesses discover too late that their coverage had gaps, their documentation was incomplete, or their policy didn't quite cover what they thought it did.

Weng Eu Gene, Chief Agency Officer at Berjaya Sompo, joins Enterprise Explores to cut through the confusion — what business insurance actually covers, what most owners get wrong before and after they buy, and the one thing that separates a smooth claim from a painful one.

Covered, Or Just Insured? What Every Business Owner Needs to Know

Between 2010 and 2020, Malaysia’s startup scene was vibrant, driven by strong leadership and proactive government grants. Today, the "top of funnel" early-stage pipeline is quietly drying up. So how does Malaysia get its startup mojo back?

Dr Sivapalan Vivekarajah, Co-Founder & Senior Partner at ScaleUp Malaysia Accelerator and Kevin Brockland, Managing Partner, Indelible Ventures join us to share their views on the historical rise and post-2018 decline of the Malaysian tech startup landscape. 

Tune in to learn more about: 


The Post-2018 Slump: Why the loss of ecosystem champions and a shift toward risk-averse bureaucracy stalled net-new startup production.


The Exit Reality Check: Why founders should target profitable, RM30 million to RM50 million M&A exits instead of chasing unicorns.


The NASDAQ Delusion: The hidden hurdles of international listings and why incorporating abroad doesn't guarantee valuation or analyst coverage.


Skin in the Game: Why government-backed direct investments fail without private-sector incentive structures like carried interest.

The Fund of Funds Model Fix: Why the government must step back from direct capital deployment and why Doc Siva believes fund-of-funds should adopt a 4:1 matching fund model to truly crowd-in and seed a broader VC scene.
