• Marketing Support Fund (MSF) has been depleted and is now replaced by the Japan funded Business Development Fund (BDF).  Chamber members can apply for financial assistance for the development  of their businesses through this new fund. It  is still administered by PIPSO, but the criteria are somewhat different from the MSF so unsuccessful MSF applicants are encouraged to apply for funding through BDF. Read more about it here.  Applications for the BDF can be made using this Application Form and Guidelines. Mail or hand in the completed application complete with signature and Common Seal to the Chamber for short-listing and endorsement.
