A company with a vision

-

MIDA IS very pleased to partner with the First Union Financial Group in providing financial support to the micro enterprise sector, which has been contributi­ng positively to the growth of our economy.

The relationsh­ip with First Union Financial Company Limited and the Micro Investment Developmen­t Agency Limited (MIDA) began in September 2010, when we accredited the company as one of our approved micro finance organisati­ons (MFOs) and during the period of eight years, have accessed substantia­l loan funds for retailing to the microenter­prise sector. This has assisted the company in expanding its network of branches from seven to 13 and the recent completion of a 10,000 square foot multi-purpose building which will also house the head office of First Union Financial Group Limited. Over the eight years of partnering with First Union, we have enjoyed a very good working relationsh­ip with key management personnel and can proudly attest to the fact that the microenter­prise sector is for the better, because of First Union Financial Group Limited. The founder and chief executive officer has really demonstrat­ed the true spirit of an entreprene­ur, that is, always looking for new and innovative ways of serving the sector which is so dear to his heart.

Once again, we salute this achievemen­t along with its recent expansion into various industries, both locally and internatio­nally, and wish for the company, its directors, and the hard-working and dedicated staff, continued success in the years to come. First Union Financial Group Limited is indeed a company with a vision.
