Cebuana Lhuillier's KaNegosyo Center Fuels Dreams of Filipino MSMEs

In the bustling landscape of the Philippines in 2024, a remarkable spirit of entrepreneurship permeates the air. With doors opening wider to foreign investors and the nation's "ease of doing business" index climbing from 124 to 95 among 190 countries, the dreams of starting a business are no longer mere fantasies but tangible aspirations. This shift is evident in the emergence of small cafes, online boutiques, and countless MSMEs across the country.

At the forefront of this transformative era is Cebuana Lhuillier, deeply attuned to the heartbeat of the Filipino people. The organization has embarked on a mission to empower every Filipino with the tools to turn their dreams into reality.


Enter the KaNegosyo Center, a beacon of hope for those who dare to dream. This initiative from Cebuana Lhuillier embodies the organization's unwavering commitment to uplift Filipinos, particularly those who aspire to grow their businesses. Through its Simula and Paglago programs, the center provides invaluable support to aspiring entrepreneurs, bringing them closer to their goals than ever before.

Coaching is a cornerstone of the KaNegosyo Center's approach, guiding entrepreneurs step by step as they navigate the challenges of growing their businesses. One of the beneficiaries, Richard La Torre, exemplifies the transformative power of this support. As a Peralink Partner of Cebuana Lhuillier, Richard's business operates as a remittance center. Faced with the challenge of insufficient funds to expand his operations, Richard found solace and guidance within the KaNegosyo Center. With the organization's assistance, what once seemed like an insurmountable hurdle became a stepping stone to success. Through flexible loan options and dedicated coaching, Cebuana Lhuillier provided Richard with the lifeline he needed to keep his dreams afloat.

Reflecting on his experience, Richard shares, "Unang una po, short ako sa funds, para sa business ko. Malaking tulong siya na mapalago kasi may magagamit ako. Tapos, hindi mabigat kasi installment siya sa loob ng 3 hanggang 12 months. Mapapagulong mo talaga ang puhunan mo."

He also expressed his deep gratitude, saying, "Nagpapasalamat po ako na may katulad niyo na handang tumulong at umagapay sa mga gustong umasenso ang buhay at sa mga katulad namin, mga maliliit na negosyante... Sana po tuloy-tuloy ang pagtulong niyo sa mga gustong umasenso."

Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, underscores the organization’s mission: "At Cebuana Lhuillier, we're dedicated to boosting Filipinos' confidence in bringing their long-nurtured business ideas to life. Our KaNegosyo Center is about more than just financial backing; it's about offering guidance and support that makes a real difference where it matters most—in the lives of Filipino entrepreneurs."

Richard's story is just one example of how Cebuana Lhuillier's KaNegosyo Center is making an impact where it truly matters: in the lives of individuals striving to improve their circumstances. Each story reflects the struggles and triumphs of Filipino dreamers who, with the right support, can turn their aspirations into reality.

In this time of growing entrepreneurial spirit, Cebuana Lhuillier stands committed to fostering growth and innovation. With the KaNegosyo Center as its cornerstone, the organization pledges to continue guiding MSMEs, addressing their needs, and championing their dreams every step of the way.
