Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE) and Sidian Bank have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance access to commercial finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya. The partnership aims to provide a clearer transition for businesses moving from development support to conventional banking by leveraging KIE's enterprise development expertise and Sidian Bank's financial services.
KIE will identify and prepare suitable enterprises, while Sidian Bank will independently assess and provide appropriate financial services such as working capital, asset and trade finance, digital payment solutions, and other required services. The collaboration is expected to address the financing gap faced by MSMEs that require more sophisticated financial products to expand.
