Four-in-One Integrated Services of the SMEs Centres and “SME ReachOut”

I. Four-in-One Integrated Services of the SMEs Centres


To strengthen support for SMEs and to raise SMEs’ awareness of the various funding schemes, the Government has consolidated the services of existing four SMEs centres, including the "Support and Consultation Centre for SMEs" (SUCCESS) under the Trade and Industry Department, the "SME Centre" under the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the "SME One" under the Hong Kong Productivity Council and the "TecONE" under the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, to provide "four-in-one" integrated services for free starting from 1 October 2019.  Enterprises can obtain business information, funding schemes information and advisory services, etc. at any of the Centres. 

In addition, a web portal called "SME Link" is also established for SMEs to access comprehensive information and support services from a single online platform.
