Supporting female business owners and entrepreneurs

Financial advice and planning for your business development journey

HSBC Jade's #SupportEntreprenHER campaign

Running your own company can be a tough business. We've collaborated with female business owners who understand your ambition, so that they can answer the questions you've always wanted to ask.

Selina Kong, Founder and CEO, The Big Things Group

Starting out as an entrepreneur

"Taking the first step was initially challenging – I worried about sacrificing time with my family and the financial responsibilities of running a business."

 

"Being an entrepreneur can be consuming, so it's important to make time for yourself. Having a network of people you trust and support your business vision, is essential." - Selina Kong, Founder and CEO, The Big Things Group

Feeling empowered

"Being strong, active and fit are vital for me to feel good and help me to manage the challenges of running a business." - Selina Kong, Founder and CEO, The Big Things Group

Dr Ayesha Khanna, Co-Founder and CEO, ADDO AI

Taking the first step

"I worked on Wall Street for over a decade, then inspired by the rapid rise in tech, I relocated to Singapore. That's how I came to co-found ADDO AI, my artificial intelligence solutions firm." - Dr Ayesha Khanna, Co-Founder and CEO, ADDO AI

The importance of support

 

"Support can come in many different forms. In our early years at ADDO AI, we leveraged Singapore's flourishing technology eco-system and community. And then there's personal support; people like my business partner. We share the same vision, troubleshoot problems together and he always offers a different perspective." - Dr Ayesha Khanna, Co-Founder and CEO, ADDO AI

Vivien Liu, Founder, Studio UNIT

Being my own boss

"I try to make the most out of my entrepreneur lifestyle. I originally started Studio UNIT because I wanted to get out of the 9 to 6 office job. By running your own business, you can seek better flexibility in your work schedule, and be financially independent by working for yourself. " - Vivien Liu, Founder, Studio UNIT

Learning from others

"My key source of support comes from my close friends who are also business owners. I find that having conversations and discussions with others who are from different fields can be inspiring, because you can pick up different ideas, observations, and tips that can be helpful to your business." - Vivien Liu, Founder, Studio UNIT
