FinCorp reopens Goroka branch
FINANCE Corp Ltd (FinCorp) has
re-opened its doors in Goroka to provide financial services to
Simbu and Eastern Highlands provinces.
The company closed its Goroka branch in early 2000 after
encountering financial problems.
Eastern Highlands Governor Malcolm Smith-Kela officially opened
the new facility in Goroka yesterday.
He said without businesses in any towns or cities, they would
vanish from existence.
“Goroka has seen an increase in business activities in the last
four years as a result of positive growth … however, land issue
has remained a major problem and it is hindering expansion in
business activities,” he said
FinCorp board chairman Kerenga Kua said his company had lending
package designed for small borrowers.
Those with commercial interests can seek financial assistance from
FinCorp, Mr Kua said.
“FinCorp Goroka branch will provide financial help like school
fees … and those who want to start small businesses in
agriculture, hospitality and tourism,” Mr Kua said.
