According to a report by SME Magazine, the average revenue of the country’s top 100 SMEs this year is RM11.2 million, with median revenue of RM8.6 million.

The SME 100 report also shows that revenue grew by 9.8 per cent last year for the top 100 companies, while revenues are projected to grow between 10 and 150 per cent for the current year.

This is in stark contrast to the five per cent gross domestic product (GDP) growth projected by the government for this year.

“Whilst many are already feeling the effects of declining consumer confidence, SMEs in Malaysia remain bullish about the economy,” SME Magazine group publisher and editor-in-chief William Ng said.

Ng, in a statement, said a total 280 companies responded to the programme, with the top 100 selected among the respondents based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria.

The quantitative criteria included revenue and profit growth, assets, export sales and investment in capital, training and research and development (R&D).

The qualitative criteria, meanwhile, included business outlook, innovations, market share, IT usage, corporate social responsibility, training, R&D efforts and others.

“Companies are listed according to their respective industry groupings,” Ng said.

Among those on the list are Naza Trutti Frutti (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Legasi Ulung Sdn Bhd, Mavisco (M) Sdn Bhd, and Tech-Lab Manufacturing Sdn Bhd. Others include Lord’s Tailor Sdn Bhd, Music Valley Sdn Bhd, Noor Arfa Holdings Sdn Bhd, Skynet Worldwide (M) Sdn Bhd and Vista Laser Center Sdn Bhd.

Moving forward, Ng said, what most SMEs would need was better access to financing, technology and talents.

Among the government’s facilities available to the SMEs are a RM2 billion syariah-compliant SME Financing Fund, a RM500 Commercialisation Innovation Fund and a RM100 million SME Revitalisation Fund.

SME Magazine has been in publication since 2007 and its circulation has reached 46,000 a month. The magazine is published by Business Media International, Southeast Asia’s largest B2B publishers.

“We are hoping to double our market share over the next three years,” said general manager for SME banking, Standard Chartered Malaysia, Vishal Shah.

Vishal declined to reveal StanChart Malaysia’s market share at the moment, saying that since SMEs cover a wide range of industries, it is hard to interpret an exact figure.

“However, over the past three years we have seen high double-digit growth, between 17% and 18%, for our SME business. This is in terms of revenue and customer balances. So going forward, we are aiming to maintain that level of growth,” said Vishal.

Globally, the SME market is seen as an increasingly important contributor to StanChart Malaysia.

“Between 24% and 30% of StanChart’s consumer banking revenue comes from the SME segment,” said the global head for SME banking, Standard Chartered Bank, Som Subroto.

“Our ambition is to be the leading international bank for SMEs, building the segment into a multi-billion dollar business over the next three to four years.”

Vishal and Som were speaking to reporters after the launch of StanChart Malaysia’s new SME offerings.

Som said StanChart Malaysia’s new SME offerings comprise the best of the solutions for both its retail and corporate segments. Each SME product offers a dedicated relationship backed by a team of specialists and provides easy access to financial services after having invested significantly in infrastructure.

“Our strengthened customer offering is timely in view of the government’s rising interest in spurring the development of a more diverse, competitive and high-growth SME sector,” said Vishal.

On whether the current global uncertainty would have an impact on SME activity, Vishal said, “There is no doubt that there will be some impact. However, we are cautiously optimistic for the coming year.”
