PASIG CITY, PHILIPPINES – January 15, 2026 – Asialink Finance Corporation, one of the country’s leading financial institutions, is tailoring its financing programs to meet the personal motivations of Filipino entrepreneurs. According to a recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) study, 64% of MSME owners start a business to provide for their family, 41% to pursue a passion, and 38% to fund their children’s education, highlighting how entrepreneurship in the Philippines is often driven by personal and family goals alongside business ambitions.
Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) make up over 99% of registered businesses in the country, yet access to formal credit remains a challenge for many. Asialink’s suite of financing solutions—including truck and car loans, real estate mortgages, and the Women’s Access to Inclusive Support (WAIS) Loan—is designed not only to support business growth but also to help entrepreneurs achieve their personal aspirations. “MSMEs are critical not only to the economy, but to the lives of millions of Filipino families. Our financing programs are designed to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses while securing their personal and family goals,” said Samuel Cariño, President and CEO of Asialink Finance Corporation.
Through these programs, thousands of micro and small business owners nationwide have been able to adapt to rising operational costs and shifting market conditions while pursuing long-term personal and family objectives. Entrepreneurs use these solutions to invest in assets, expand operations, and strengthen business continuity, helping them provide for their families and pursue aspirations beyond business success. By offering practical and accessible financing, Asialink empowers Filipino entrepreneurs to balance the demands of business growth with the realities of household budgets and everyday living, ensuring that personal goals are supported alongside professional achievements.
