Capsphere, CGC Digital forge strategic partnership to expand SME financing in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — Capsphere, Malaysia's first asset-based peer-to-peer (P2P) financing platform, has entered into a strategic collaboration with CGC Digital, the fintech subsidiary of Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Bhd (CGC), to introduce new financing products for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The SME financing products are underpinned by CGC Digital's credit guarantee, designed to reduce credit risk and expand access to funding for eligible SMEs. In a statement today, CGC said that, through the partnership, SMEs can now apply for financing via Capsphere's platform and benefit from a credit risk-sharing arrangement supported by CGC Digital. The offering includes Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) financing, with AR financing enabling SMEs to receive early payments on invoices, while AP financing supports timely supplier payments to enhance cash flow, operational continuity, and supplier relationships. Capshere chief executive officer (CEO) Yoon Jun Jie said the launch of the AR and AP financing products backed by CGC Digital's guarantee marks a key milestone in the company's mission to unlock fair and secure access to capital for SMEs. He said this initiative also reflects CGC Digital's commitment to enabling inclusive, tech-driven financing for underserved and growing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), while fostering a more robust digital financing ecosystem through strategic de-risking partnerships. Meanwhile, CGC Digital CEO Yushida Husin said the collaboration is a strong addition to CGC's growing fintech ecosystem. 'We are proud to support emerging digital platforms in broadening financing access while sharing risk to promote SME resilience,' she said. Key features of the Capsphere-CGC Digital initiative include credit guarantees on a risk-sharing basis for eligible SME transactions, enhanced financing access for underserved and growth-stage businesses, and seamless integration into Capsphere's asset-based financing model.

KUALA LUMPUR: Remedi, CGC Digital and Seedflex announced a strategic collaboration to expand access to business financing for private clinics through embedded financing within the Remedi clinic management platform. The initiative supports SME digitalisation by integrating financial services directly into the Remedi Clinic Management Platform, already used by over 500 clinics in Malaysia. This innovative collaboration is aimed at improving financing access for private clinics — many of which operate as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — by embedding loan and financing options within their existing digital workflows. It forms part of a broader effort to strengthen financial resilience among healthcare SMEs through alternative data and platform-based delivery. Remedi provides an integrated solution for managing the full range of clinic operations. This includes appointment scheduling, billing, medical records, inventory control and patient engagement, all in a seamless digital environment. The platform also captures valuable business insights that support predictive features, such as forecasting inventory needs. 'We are committed to helping clinics digitalise not only their operations, but also their access to financial and procurement services. 'Embedded financing is an innovative approach and a natural step in building a full-service ecosystem for clinics and ensuring their operational sustainability as well,' said Remedi managing director Khairul Faizi Khalid. Additionally, the platform has launched a built-in procurement marketplace that allows clinics to order medical supplies and consumables directly, streamlining inventory management and making operations more efficient. By embedding financing into this ecosystem, clinics will be able to access working capital and business loans directly through the platform, reducing administrative burden and improving access to tailored funding. 'This initiative allows us to bring the alternative financing ecosystem closer to the point of need — supporting SMEs with both access and affordability,' said CGC Digital chief executive officer Yushida Husin. This collaboration brings together critical components of the healthcare and lending ecosystems to address long-standing challenges in accessing financing: > Remedi acts as the central hub, embedding financing tools within its operational interface and generating data to support credit evaluation; > CGC Digital plays a facilitative role by enabling risk-sharing arrangements and connecting a broader network of financing partners to the platform leveraging CGC Digital's financing marketplace, imSME; > Seedflex provides flexible, performance-based financing tailored to clinics' actual business activity, making capital more accessible and aligned with day-to-day operational realities. By integrating financing into a platform already central to clinic operations, the partnership lowers barriers to funding, streamlines the application process, and enables more responsive and appropriate financing solutions — ultimately bridging the financing gap for a critical segment of healthcare SMEs. 'We're excited to collaborate with Remedi and CGC Digital to provide flexible financing to address the real-life credit needs of healthcare clinics. 'This partnership allows us to continue pursuing our vision to bridge the credit gap for SMEs and give business owners of any size the same fair access to capital regardless of their background,' added Seedflex co-founder and chief executive officer Ritwik Ghosh.
