The story of Funding Societies
Funding Societies plays an important role in making financial services available to small and medium-sized businesses that are often overlooked in Southeast Asia. This specific project is focused on financing in Malaysia, but Funding Societies is also active in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore.
The goal of Funding Societies is to bridge the $320 billion financing gap in Southeast Asia, thereby promoting economic growth and prosperity in the region. Funding Societies believes that stronger SMEs contribute to stronger societies. In line with this belief, Funding Societies has actively provided more than 3 million loans to small and medium-sized businesses over the past years, amounting to a total of more than 815 million euros.

Impacto
As PME representam cerca de 60% do PIB do Sudeste Asiático e são responsáveis pela maior parte dos postos de trabalho, mas enfrentam um défice de financiamento de 320 mil milhões de dólares. O Funding Societies interveio para colmatar este défice, financiando mais de 815 milhões de euros através de mais de 3 milhões de empréstimos às empresas nos últimos cinco anos. A sua atividade centra-se no crédito a curto prazo, normalmente a menos de 12 meses, adaptado às necessidades das PME.
O impacto dos seus empréstimos é significativo. Cerca de 76% das PME utilizam os seus empréstimos para fundo de maneio. Muitas reconhecem que este financiamento foi essencial para manter as suas empresas abertas e a sua força de trabalho. Além disso, o Funding Societies promove a emancipação económica das mulheres, apoiando as mulheres empresárias, que representam 24% dos seus mutuários.
Investir em Funding Societies em Lendahand promove a inclusão financeira e a mobilidade social no Sudeste Asiático, mais especificamente na Indonésia e no Vietname. Com Funding Societies, pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento regional e fazer uma verdadeira diferença na vida das pessoas.
