PRINCIPLES OF EPF

• EPF will provide equity financing. However, the fund requires entrepreneurs to also contribute some portion of their own equity in the proposed business.

• EPF will provide advisory support and guidance in strategic direction where necessary to assist the entrepreneurs.

• To encourage entrepreneurs to take more ownership towards their proposed business, EPF will generally take a minority shareholding in the business.

• EPF will accord priority and encourage businesses that are viable and with growth potential.

• EPF will over a period of time slowly divest its investments and exit from the business.
