Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: UAE-based fintech Ziina announced it has extended its 10K Small Business Grant initiative into May after receiving an overwhelming response from the community during its initial launch in April.The program, which awards AED10,000 each week to a small business nominated by the public, was introduced to spotlight and support small enterprises across the UAE, as per the company’s press release. The initiative aims to recognize the role small businesses play in local communities while providing them with financial backing to help sustain and grow their operations.

The company said that small businesses are often the first to feel the impact of economic uncertainty but continue to support their customers, teams, and surrounding communities. The strong engagement and number of nominations received during April prompted Ziina to extend the initiative beyond its original timeline.

Under the extended program, one UAE-based small business will continue to receive the AED10,000 grant every Monday. Ziina said it is looking for community-nominated businesses that deserve recognition and a financial boost as they continue navigating evolving market conditions.
