“Without the financial support of the SME Bank of Cambodia, the processing and development of local products or raw materials into value-added or finished products would not have been done smoothly.”
Mr. SONG Khenglean,
Owner of CSL Enterprise as a manufacturer and supplier of packaged food made from fruits, grains and spices in Sangkat Teuk Thla, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh.
My enterprise started operating in 2017 with only a few products, observing the market demand as well as the support of new food packages and groceries by more and more customers; then in 2021, I decided to create more new products including packaged foods made from cashew nuts, mangoes, bananas, taro and logan, plus grocery such as mung beans, soybeans, red beans, dried chilli, and ground peppers, etc.
To achieve this goal, it requires me to have some capital to invest, such as buying better quality machines and working capital to buy raw materials. As a solution, I applied for a loan from SME Bank of Cambodia to purchase more machines and expand the warehouse to stock raw materials.
In fact, after receiving capital from the bank, my business has run better because the products of my enterprise can meet the needs of customers in a timely manner with good quality. The growth of my orders has been increasing by major supermarkets such as Aeon Mall, Lucky Mall, Makro Market, Thai Huot Market, Bayon Market and many depots across the country.
I am very happy and satisfied with the bank that has financed me with the most reasonable interest rate that I have been able to repay during the process of expanding my business.
