Link's QIO Renovation Financing Kick-off Ceremony

To better serve our quality independent operators ("QIO") and thank them for their long-term support, The Link Management Limited ("The Link") has lined up three local banks, namely Dah Sing Bank, Bank of China (Hong Kong) and The Bank of East Asia (collectively, "the Banks"), to offer them a specially designed renovation financing scheme. Entitled "The Link QIO Renovation Financing", this scheme seeks to help our QIOs to better take advantage of business opportunities by facilitating convenient access for QIOs to working capital ("Scheme").

The Scheme began today (1 September), with Mr. John Lam, Executive Director of Dah Sing Bank, Ms. Suney Chan, Head of Asset Based Finance Department, The Bank of East Asia, Mr. Keith Ng, Head of Treasury, The Link Management Limited and Ms. Irene Mary Fisher, General Manager of Asset Management, The Link Management Limited officiating at the kick-off ceremony held at The Link's head office.

During the promotional period, any of The Link's QIOs who has secured renovation financing under this Scheme from any of the Banks will receive welcome privileges from the respective banks on a first-come-first-serve basis. The fabulous offers include waiving of the requirements for collaterals and a loan amount of up to HK$1,000,000. For details, please visit the website:
