Earlier on in this blog, we hinted that CSQLaw is so much more than your ordinary legal firm down the street. We played with such like “boutique, artisan, bespoke, custom et cetera” to describe who we are. And we indicated fancy names like CSQ, Laughing Tree and MASTA as being part of our group of companies.
We have already made a brief introduction as far as MASTA is concerned. For this article, we will further introduce what Laughing Tree is all about.
One of the main products under Laughing Tree is the Project Tree. This project, to put it simply, is a blueprint for your organization to prepare itself ready to apply and get quick corporate funding in the most systematic way.
It also helps to forge and cement a strong fundamental to help prepare the business concern towards facing the challenges in the industry, both local and global.
The program also assists your company to build a vast network with high-net-worth individuals and also companies which will prove to be invaluable for the continued growth of your esteemed companies in their respective fields and areas of specialization.
The Project Tree aims entrepreneurs and enterprises that are looking to raise funds for their businesses. Also to connect and match with other established market players in the same sector, within or outside the country. Or to form joint venture partnerships with foreign expertise and investors.
In brief, this is a twelve (12) weeks intensive program conducted face-to-face that will ultimately help the basic fundamentals and strategize as well as synergize your business. The summit of this program is that your business will be given the opportunity to present its business ideas and proposals to prospective local and foreign investors.
Through Laughing Tree Sdn. Bhd., we offer a supportive networking platform and the opportunity to obtain funding and financing to SMIs. We will guide business concerns, enterprises, and companies, both from the predominantly Malay and English medium, to prepare themselves before applying for grants, funds or financing.
The Chairman of the Project Tree program is Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, a very prominent financial figure in Malaysia. In his own words (translated from Malay):-
“This is an initial effort but with a dream of a mission to the moon. Entrepreneurs are not born but molded and trained. No excuses for budding and aspiring entrepreneurs not to succeed.
For Malaysia to increase her per capita income towards being a high-income nation (as opposed to USD10,000 currently), the entrepreneurial sector has to be activated. We at Laughing Tree aspire to become the important connecting dots in realizing and making this possible for our fellow entrepreneurs. We wish to build a huge tree for everybody to take shelter.”
– TAN SRI DR MOHD DAUD BAKAR
Among the training modules, we offer:-
1. Company and Legal Structure
2. Financial Building and Company Evaluation
3. Marketing, Branding, and Self Imaging
4. Business Model, Market Capitalisation and Business Expansion
Aside from that, we would also organize visits to selected companies, presentation exercises et cetera to further assist and prepare you and your company to face real-world challenges.
There are various types of funds out there, ranging from government grants, pioneering funds, equity crowdfunding, financial banking, digital assets, angel investors, “peer to peer” and other types of fundraising activities available.
It is estimated that the access to accumulated available funds for entrepreneurs and participants of Project Tree to grab totals almost RM500 Million.
With CSQ’s vast experience and networking in Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and other CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries, we stand ahead of others in our position to offer you a comprehensive one-stop center to help your business. In fact, we maintain an office in Kazakhstan where Tan Sri Dr. Daud Bakar also acts as the Islamic Financial Advisor to the Kazakhstan Government.
Businesses are certainly no laughing matter. So it’s pertinent that we start one on a serious note. The only true laughing when it comes to the business world should be when businessmen is on their way to the bank.
