TESTIMONIALS
Shpëtim Hasa
“Thanks to Crimson Finance Fund Albania, not only did I manage to have my own taxi vehicle, but I was also able to save on operating costs while protecting the environment.”
I have been operating as a taxi driver for more than 8 years in the city of Tirana. At first I did not have my own vehicle, but I operated with a rented taxi. After learning about the advantages of electric cars, I decided to lease one. With the financing of Crimson Finance Fund Albania I am now working with an electric car, which is ecological, has little costs and at the end of the financing the vehicle will be in my legal ownership. Today not only do I not pay rent for a car that is not mine, but thanks to the differences between the consuming costs of the diesel car and the consuming costs of the electric car, I provide income with which I pay the installment of the financing.

This financing helped to increase production quality and the sales volume. COCOAL Ltd in this period became the main supplier of the meat production company "DRIZA". Crimson Finance Fund Albania financed our business for a second time, making it possible to expand the activity, with the production and the marketing of the bio eggs.

Florenc Karaj
“Crimson Finance Fund Albania made it possible for me to actualize a project that is both profitable and developmental: That of providing internet service in some rural areas. ”
Seeing the lack of internet access in the village where I live, Pajova, Elbasan, I opened an internet caffe. This venture proved successful and encouraged me to invest in providing internet for the residents of my village. Crimson Finance Fund Albania believed in my plan and supported me at a time when no other financial institution would. Thanks to the combined financing between Leasing and Factoring, suggested by CFFA staff, I invested in fiber optics that allowed me to provide internet not only for my village, but also for 20 other villages near it, at a time when no national operator offered this service. Today, although the latter have extended their coverage in these areas, I remain the first choice of the residents for internet services.

Kennedy Ltd
"The machinery financed by Crimson Finance Fund Albania helped to eliminate a problem in the production process, which affected the quality and price of our products."
Kennedy Ltd is a company founded in 1994, focused on the production of meat by-products. Previously, Kennedy Ltd's final products were produced in different sizes, not in standard shapes, because of the machinery that was in use. This problem affected the product on the price side, consequently reducing the company's revenue. Through leasing, Kennedy was able to be equipped with a machine that eliminated this problem and made it possible to produce standard-sized meat by-products. Given that the raw material used in this process remained unchanged, this equipment led to an increase in the company's total profit.
