Women business owners drive innovation, generate employment, and stimulate economic development. At Global Dominion, we empower women-led SMEs and MSMEs by offering accessible financing options that assist them in growing, investing, and sustaining their enterprises.
In the Philippines, businesses led by women continue to ascend, showcasing resilience, ingenuity, and leadership across sectors such as retail, services, manufacturing, and logistics. Despite obstacles like limited access to funds and resources, they excel and contribute significantly to both local and national economies.
As reported in a 2024 article by the Philippine Commission on Women, over half of women-owned MSMEs regard access to finance as a major hurdle, in contrast to just one-third of MSMEs owned by men.
Furthermore, a 2024 report from the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment (PBCWE) indicates that women now represent 40% of executive leadership teams in publicly listed firms in the Philippines, with the count of female CEOs steadily rising. These statistics emphasize the vital role of women entrepreneurs in the economic framework of the country and the persistent initiatives aimed at fostering gender equality in business leadership.
At Global Dominion, we dedicate ourselves to backing these enterprises through tailored financing solutions that cater to their changing requirements. Our loan offerings—such as Sangla OR/CR (Car and Truck), Second-Hand Vehicle Financing, New Car Financing, Real Estate Mortgage, Real Estate Financing, and Doctors’ Loan—provide adaptable options to assist businesses in securing capital, scaling operations, and investing in their future.
As of 2024, approximately 25% of Global Dominion’s financed portfolio comprises women-led businesses, reinforcing our dedication to empowering female entrepreneurs and fostering inclusive economic advancement. By closing financial gaps and delivering customized solutions, we assist businesses in overcoming challenges and attaining sustainable success.
At Global Dominion, we remain unwavering in our mission to aid women in business by providing financial instruments, resources, and opportunities to enable them to flourish. As more women pursue financing alternatives, we are prepared to help transform their business dreams into reality.
