Esquire Financing Inc.'s Ambassador For Success Program

“It’s no secret that the Philippines has emerged as Asia’s economic darling;” and a focus on SME development is required to sustain this intended growth. This focus is essential as it is responsible for job creation. The SME sector employs 64.9% of the country’s workforce, as cited by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). In addition, the Asia SME Finance Monitor 2014 by Asian Development Bank (ADB) considers strengthening SME competitiveness to be critical to expanding its contribution to the national economy.

The growth of the SME sector is directly linked to access to capital, but based on the 2010 Financial Access Survey, it is estimated that only 20% of registered small firms have access to loans from formal financial institutions. There are a number of reasons why it is quite difficult to finance SMEs – among those are collateral requirements from banks, high minimum loan amounts, difficulty in restructuring loans and limited access to information on alternative sources of funding.

Esquire Financing Inc. (EFI) is a direct response to the unanswered need of the small and medium enterprises segment for a trusted financial partner. EFI provides non-collateral business loans for SMEs. Unlike other financing companies that have generic loan programs, each client at EFI receives a tailor-made financial program that best fits their needs, goals current cash flows, capacity and financial position. This business model is implemented while maintaining a strong and effective risk management strategy.
