ASSI Provides Soft Loans To 16 Members And Partners Banks To Offer More Support
The Association of Small Scale Industries (ASSI), is an advocacy for every micro and small scale enterprise in Ghana which affiliates with the Private Enterprises Federation (PEF) as a member.
It has granted soft loans to 16 members in the Asutifi district in the Ahafo region to help them improve their businesses.
Through the offer, the association noted that members would expand their business ventures further train more apprentices, and give more employment to the youth.
Elder Daniel Ameyaw who doubles as the Asutifi North and South Districts Secretary branch of ASSI, in an interview with Journalists on Wednesday at Kenyasi said they hope to extend the loan facility to the rest of their members and artisans outside the association.
ASSI in the Asutifi district has over 600 registered members who are improving their businesses through soft loans, technical advice, training workshops, financial management, and education among others.
He stated that the outfit has also collaborated with other financial institutions in the Ahafo region to provide loans to members who are interested in seeking higher loans at a low interest rate and on a flexible payment system”.
Eld Ameyaw stressed that the association alone cannot do this national service to the country, and therefore appealed to stakeholder institutions in and outside the Ahafo region to collaborate with ASSI to do more.
