Organisational Structure
In order to meet the demands it has set itself, MEDS management have carefully designed its operational structure to undertake the following functions:
Finance
We recognize that access to and acquisition of finance is a major challenge to SME businesses everywhere. The difficulty and challenges facing businesses who are unable to secure financial products and service appropriate to their needs cannot be stressed highly enough. To offset this challenge MEDS has mobilized a finance division, comprised in partnership with selected financial institutions.
Strategic Development
In order for MEDS to maintain its standards and deliver high quality services to its partners and clients it is important that the company develops and sustains excellent and long-standing strategic partnerships with stellar organisations. We are pleased that we have already commenced discussions with a selected number of respected and highly reputed business institutions. Our executive team are individuals affiliated to key business organisations such as the Commonwealth Alliance Institute of Directors.
Operations
Our operations team preside over a hive of activity. Our partners, members and clients are served by a team who provide full back office support and coordinate the multi functional operation which drives MEDS. From delivering a Business Transformation programme, to negotiating finance for a client, to enabling a client to service a contract, MEDS operations staff provide a fast, efficient, caring and professional service.
Business Services
As can be seen on our services page we have a distinct but inter related group of business services, designed and tailored to support the requirements of SME companies in the “growth“ sectors identified in the previous section.
We have both internal and externally based professionals who are able to assist our SME member-clients in all aspects of their business.
Media and Promotion
MEDS acknowledges that it has an obligation to its members to provide effective marketing and promotion, not just of MEDS itself but for the entire membership of SME members in their quest to achieve business growth. Therefore our media and promotion strategy is directly in line with our aim to showcase our members services to the global market.
Growth Sectors
Prior to establishing MEDS, the Board of Directors/Executive Team undertook a critical analysis of the behaviours in the global market. After completing this exercise, we came to the view that we wished to address and focus on supporting SME businesses operating in a number of “Growth Sectors.” These sectors are identified as follows:
The sector has been gaining momentum, as agile and innovative startups move to take advantage of increased technology penetration and high levels of unmet needs in the traditional banking sector to seize market share. Despite these impressive gains, the impact created by fintechs is still only a fraction of its potential. Most fintechs in developing countries have targeted early adopters, individuals who are already making use of banking and other financial services and are willing to try out new services.
