Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance has opened registration for a new evening course that helps local founders master day-to-day finance—an essential step for turning early traction into sustainable growth.
The initiative targets Bahraini owners of micro, small and medium enterprises—including virtual CR holders—who often juggle product, hiring and cash-flow decisions without formal training. Delivered by the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) and supported by Tamkeen (terms apply), the programme blends classroom sessions with one-on-one mentoring from specialists in entrepreneurship, corporate governance, risk and strategic planning. By running in the evening, the schedule lets founders keep their businesses operating while they upskill. Bassam Kazerooni, Head of Business Development and Acting Head of BIBF’s Banking and Finance Centre, said the course is designed to sharpen decision-making and embed financial practices that boost long-term resilience.
The launch aligns with BIBF’s broader push to equip Bahrain’s private sector with practical, results-driven learning pathways that match real-world market needs. Registration is open to any Bahraini with an active CR, whether brick-and-mortar or fully online, underscoring the institute’s commitment to an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. Participants will leave with actionable tools for budgeting, forecasting and risk control—skills that can reduce costly missteps and position their ventures for expansion or funding.
Founders keen to level up their finance game should apply via the BIBF website before 31 July.
