The Retail Chain Rollout Loan Plan is designed for businesses that want to expand their retail footprint by opening new stores, upgrading existing outlets, or creating a strong omnichannel presence nationwide. Retail is a fast-moving and highly competitive sector where growth depends on accessibility, customer experience, brand presence, and supply chain reliability.

This loan product provides financing for companies aiming to scale from a few branches into a widespread chain of outlets—whether supermarkets, fashion stores, pharmacies, electronics chains, or quick-service restaurants.

Denominated in United States Dollars (USD), the plan ensures stability and global credibility, especially where expansion involves importing stock, fitting out stores with international brands, or working with foreign suppliers.
