Working in partnership with the NZ High Commission in Samoa to find sustainable
solutions to support the growth of the private sector, Business Link Pacific has
launched a new Finance Finder tool in Samoa.
The new Finance Finder tool is available online for SMEs in Samoa from this week
allowing businesses to search for loan options across a range of different providers,
compare terms and interest rates, and save products to view later. The tool can be
accessed at https://finance.businesslinkpacific.com
This new tool is designed to support SMEs in Samoa to find in one place the financing
options that are right for them. The Finance Finder works in partnership with banks
and institutions to provide the latest information about financial products for
businesses.
“Businesses will be able to look at finance options online as well as applying through
BLP for help with their applications,” says John Lemoa, Business Manager for BLP in
Samoa. John is based at the Samoa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, BLP’s In-
country partner, and he is available for one-to-one consultations with business.
The new Finance Finder tool is being launched in Samoa first and will be rolled out
across the Pacific Islands next year.
Business Link Pacific hopes this new tool will allow more SMEs to access financial
services by offering updated information provided directly by partnering banks.
The new Finance Finder tool is available for Samoan businesses online at
https://finance.businesslinkpacific.com or call the Samoa Chamber of Commerce &
Industry on 31090 to learn more.
