Individual Investor in Kuala Lumpur Looking to Invest in Education Businesses and Cafes Upto MYR 1 million

I am currently working in sustainable finance in the debt markets department. With over a decade of experience in sustainability consulting and financial markets, I have developed a strong interest in identifying businesses that offer long-term growth and value creation.

Investing in a Business

When evaluating a business for investment or advisory, I focus on the following key factors:
1. Market demand & industry growth: I prefer sectors with steady growth like education, healthcare, and technology, and avoid declining industries such as traditional retail without a digital presence.
2. Business model & revenue streams: I favour businesses with diversified, recurring revenue models, such as subscription services, and avoid those dependent on one-off or seasonal sales.
Scalability: The potential for geographic expansion, new product offerings, or entering adjacent markets is crucial for growth.
3. Sustainability & ethical practices: I prioritize businesses that adopt eco-friendly practices and show social responsibility, avoiding those with high environmental impact or poor ethical standards.
4. Financial health: I look for stable profitability, low debt, and strong cash flow.
5. Competitive advantage: A clear, defensible edge like a strong brand or proprietary technology is important.
Businesses I like:
Education, healthcare, and technology: Due to stable demand, scalability, and long-term growth potential.
Businesses I avoid:
Traditional retail (without digital strategy), high-impact industries, and seasonal/event-based businesses: Due to shrinking demand, poor sustainability, or high revenue volatility.
