Andy Ong Career

Upon graduation from university, Ong worked at a managing editor at a publishing firm until he was retrenched in the 1997 financial crisis. Following this, he founded the financial journal Asia Financial Planning Journal, which broke even within 2 weeks. Ong sold the business in 2003 to focus on developing ERC.

In 2001, Ong founded incubator and business consultancy, Entrepreneur's Resource Centre (ERC). ERC was to be a hub to train, fund and mentor entrepreneurs in Singapore. ERC was awarded a grant by Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB) under the SEEDS programme to incubate firms.

In 2003, Ong led ERC Holdings to expand into education, establishing ERC Institute, a private education institute. Students can enroll in courses to attain certification from its university partners, such as University of Greenwich, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and University of Wolverhampton. Ong personally mentors students with viable business plans at ERCI.

In 2016, Ong, as CEO of ERC, designed BIGWork with Yen Ong, founder of the co-working space. It is the first Southeast Asian co-working space to offer a multi-city pass across cities in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh and Singapore. BIGWork offers entrepreneurs a co-working space and community at lower costs.

In 2016, Ong launched BIGFund, an accelerator programme aimed at helping start-ups commercialise business ideas across Southeast Asia. BIGFund serves as an extension to ERCI students to gain access to the fundamental resources for market penetration.

In 2006, Ong who sat on the board of 15 private and public-listed companies, is a certified financial planner and was the founding president of the Financial Planning Association of Singapore. ERC now has a presence in various countries such as Singapore, Thailand and China and an ERC Institute campus in Vietnam.
