“SME Bank not only provides financial services to food processing enterprises, but also provides and encourages businesswomen honestly and sincerely.“

Mrs. PHORK Hoeung,

Owner of Golden Yem tea and snack hacks producer in Sangkat Choam Chao, Khan Po Senchey district, Phnom Penh.

Initially, my business ran with only one product line, which was a natural tea bag product. As I have been planning to expand my business, I decided to create four more types of snack packaging by adding many different flavors to fulfill the market demand.

Due to the lack of capital to purchase machines and equipment for making snacks as well as natural tea, I decided to apply for a loan from SME Bank to purchase more machines, relocate the warehouse to a bigger place, and stock more ingredients for making snacks and natural tea.

My craft is running smoothly and growing remarkably due to the orders from many wholesale customers and supermarkets, such as: Aeon Mall, Lucky Supermarket, Makro Mall, Thai Huot Supermarket, Bayon Supermarket, and nationwide distribution depots. My business started with only ten employees, but now I can employ more than 30 employees, which is a 300% increase compared to the time before receiving a loan from SME Bank.

I have applied for an SME Bank loan through a friend with a similar business who has also applied for an SME Bank loan, and I am so grateful that SME Bank has a financing scheme designed specifically for female entrepreneurs with a favorable interest rate to support my business. I highly recommend that female entrepreneurs who need more funding to expand their businesses please visit and apply for a loan from SME Bank.
