What is SME Grant? What does SME stands for?

SME = Small and Medium Enterprise

SME Digitalisation Initiative is a new government grant initiative to assist SMEs (small and medium enterprise) to adopt digitalisation in their business operations.

For SME Grant, there’s a 30% matching grant up to RM3,000 per SME account that brings a lot of benefits to small and medium enterprises throughout their business during the pandemic which lowers productivity of business among the enterprises.

Wow, I am eligible! But how can I apply for SME Government Grant?

1. Get your proposal by contacting us!

The picture below is an example of proposal that we had came out for our customer, Jiejie A, to compare between her monthly personal postpaid lines and the company postpaid line with government grant.

For what we can see from our proposal, Jiejie A’s postpaid personal lines are converted to company’s lines (fyi, SME grant can only be claimed under company’s name for postpaid plan.

In the proposal,

1. Jiejie A’s two personal postpaid lines (Celcom & Digi) are both converted to Maxis business postpaid lines with one main line – MBP 98 with 1 share line – MBP Share 48. With this main line + sub line, customer will get 1 free smartphone device which is Vivo V2, worth up to RM1,599. (Oh M Jee!! What?! Free Phone?? Yes!!)

2. We add on a new line – Biz Fibre 300mbps that only costs RM199 (data is unlimited btw !! :P)

3. By claiming Government Grant, eSMS (RM18 per month) and VoiceGo (RM10 per month) are for FREE of charge. 

4. From only 70gb and charging RM140 monthly, we manage to let customer experience equal and more than 70Gb and at the same time, unlimited data, for only RM242 per month (standard price is RM345, after claiming Government Grant it becomes RM242 monthly for 24 months)

After we came out this proposal, Jiejie A insisted that she doesn’t want a free device and hope to change it to Iphone 13 Pro or Iphone 13 Pro Max. So, we came out another 2 proposals with an option in each proposal.

Below proposals are the one we prepared for Jiejie A.

 2. Get to know MBP plan and make up your mind

After seeing all these proposals, let’s get to know Maxis Business Postpaid plan.

MBP is not just the point, Business tools in a low price that comes with our postpaid plans are also one of the main points of this whole thing! eSMS & VoiceGo can be free after claiming Government Grant under 24 months contract. Ya la ya la, Betul worth giler tau!
