November 13, 2026 · ARQ Capital, through its private credit arm ARQ SME BDC, is offering a free SheSecure workshop series called Built to Scale, a three-part finance training series for growing, women-led enterprises.
Held on three separate days from December 2026 to March 2027 (December 9, January 27, and March 17), Built to Scale is designed to equip women founders with the knowledge and tools to scale their businesses. The workshop series is developed with support from Investing in Women, an initiative of the Australian Government, and Nüshu Network by Villgro Philippines.
Participants are expected to leave with a pitch-ready Growth Capital Plan they can bring to banks, investors, and other funders. Those who complete all three workshops will also receive a certificate of completion, and those who qualify after Session 3 may access three months of free bookkeeping support.
The series is open to women-owned or women-led enterprises with total assets above PHP 35 million, or with an annual revenue at or approaching PHP 50 million. Growing businesses below these thresholds are also welcome to apply and participate.
Applications for Session 1 are open until December 2, 2026, 11:59 PM PHT. Participants must attend Session 1 to join Sessions 2 and 3.
