Cymorth ar-lein I fusnesau yn Gymraeg - Business support online in Welsh
Cyhoeddodd y British Bankers' Association (‘BBA’) heddiw fod help a chymorth bellach ar gael ar-lein yn yr iaith Gymraeg i fusnesau bach a maint canolig. Lansiwyd y fersiwn Gymraeg newydd o metorsme.co.uk, http://www.mentorsme.co.uk/cymraeg sy’,n paru busnesau gyda mudiadau mentora, heddiw yng Nghaerdydd gan brif weithredwr y BBA Angela Knight.
Yn siarad yng nghynhadledd a gweithdai Better Business Finance yng Nghaerdydd heddiw, dywedodd Mrs Knight:
"Mae banciau yn ymrwymedig i helpu cwsmeriaid busnes i gael mynediad i’r cymorth maent eu hangen i wneud eu busnesau yn llwyddiant. Rydym yng Nghaerdydd heddiw fel rhan o’r Better Business Finance, ein sioe deithiol genedlaethol, i glywed oddi wrth fusnesau Cymreig.
"Mae gwaith ymchwil annibynnol wedi canfod mai un o’r rhwystrau allweddol i sicrhau’r ‘ie’ angenrheidiol hwnnw i unrhyw gais am fenthyciad yw’r gallu i gyfieithu arbenigedd pobl busnes i mewn i gynnig at ddibenion y rheolwr banc. Ac o ganlyniad, mae banciau yn rhoi adnoddau i mewn i ddarparu mynediad rhad ac am ddim i fentoriaid a fydd yn gallu helpu gyda’r cynllun busnes hollbwysig hwnnw, neu a fyddant yn syml, yn gallu ymddwyn fel bwrdd seinio a chyfaill diduedd. Mae ein gwefan Mentorsme wedi bod yn gryn lwyddiant yn barod ac rwyf yn ymfalchïo ein bod wedi medru gweithio gyda chynifer o fudiadau uchel eu parch.
"Mae lansiad o’n gwefan iaith Gymraeg heddiw yn gam pellach tuag at helpu mwy a mwy o fusnesau i gael mynediad i’r help a chymorth maent eu hangen; lle, pryd a sut maent eu hangen ef."
Roedd Mrs Knight yn siarad yn y digwyddiad Better Business Finance yn y Radisson Blu yng Nghaerdydd. Roedd y siaradwyr yn cynnwys Graham Morgan o Siambr Fasnach De Cymru, Chris Nott sy’n arwain y panel sector cyllid a gwasanaethau proffesiynol yn Llywodraeth Cymru a Tim Goodson, rheolwyr gyfarwyddwr Cardiff Self Storage. Roedd uwch fancwyr busnes hefyd wrth law ar gyfer panel holi ac ateb, ynghyd â nifer o sesiynau gweithdai rhad ac am ddim. Cefnogwyd y digwyddiad gan Siambr Fasnach De Cymru.

Business support online in Welsh
Help and support for small and medium sized businesses is now available online for Welsh speakers the British Bankers’ Association (BBA) announced today. The new Welsh version of mentorsme.co.uk, http://www.mentorsme.co.uk/cymraeg which, matches businesses with mentoring organisations, was launched today in Cardiff by BBA chief executive Angela Knight.
Speaking at the Better Business Finance conference and workshops in Cardiff today, Mrs Knight said:
"Banks are committed to helping business customers access the support they need to make their businesses a success. We are in Cardiff today as part of Better Business Finance, our national roadshow programme, to hear from Welsh businesses.
"Independent research has found that one of the key barriers to securing that vital ‘yes’ to any request for a loan is the ability to translate the expertise of business men and women into a proposal for the bank manager. As a result, banks are putting resources into providing free access to mentors who can help with that all-important business plan, or who can simply to act as a sounding board and impartial friend. Our Mentorsme site has already been a great success and I am delighted that we have been able to work with so many respected organisations.
"Today’s launch of our Welsh language site is a further step towards helping more and more businesses access the help and support they need where, when and how they need it."
Mrs Knight was speaking at the Better Business Finance event at the Radisson Blu in Cardiff. Speakers included Graham Morgan from the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, Chris Nott who heads up the finance and professional services sector panel at the Welsh Assembly Government and Tim Goodson, the managing director of Cardiff Self Storage. Senior business bankers were also on hand for a question and answer panel as well as a number of free workshop sessions. The event was supported by the South Wales Chamber of Commerce.
