Peninsula expands financing activities: will allocate NIS 200 million to provide medium-term loans

The loans will be granted up to an amount of NIS 15 million, to companies with a turnover of more than NIS 100 million ■ The fund will be based on Peninsula’s independent sources ■ So far, Peninsula has granted short-term loans of up to 90 days, by writing independent checks

 

Peninsula summarizes the first quarter: a 90% jump in net profit

The non-bank credit company reported a profit of NIS 4.38 million, which stemmed mainly from the expansion of its credit portfolio – from NIS 384 million to about NIS 500 million.

Peninsula’s credit portfolio is expanding – and with it its profits

The check discounting company continues to benefit from the opening of the business credit market to competition: its revenues in the first quarter grew by 25%, increasing its net profit to NIS 4.4 million.

Fourth loan to the Peninsula Small Business Fund: NIS 25 million to Galooli

Galooli specializes in big data solutions to save businesses operating expenses, and this is its first fundraising ■ Peninsula, which raised NIS 450 million in loans: “The fund allows high-tech companies a cheaper alternative to raising capital and diluting shareholders”

Peninsula Fund will lend NIS 16 million to Jugano: “Lighting solutions that reduce costs by 90%”

The loan will be used by Jugano, owned by Eran Ben-Shmuel and Alex Bilchinsky, to expand operations abroad ■ Peninsula: “Jugano’s lighting systems have been tested by international professional bodies and have proven energy savings”

This is how the state is failing the middle class

If the state wants to create a competitive economy, it must make it easier for companies with five to 100 employees – which employ 40% of the workers in the economy.
