NewHayven Merchant Bank (NHMB), has issued a press release stating that it has “effectively organised, collateralised, and secured financing” for Sure Gig Inc., a 100% Guyanese woman-owned workforce management and logistics firm.
NewHaven’s press release said that this funding ‘is an important step in increasing Sure Gig’s presence and capabilities in Guyana’s emerging economy.’
According to the release, Sure Gig, founded in 2016, has made considerable economic progress by ‘developing partnerships and providing excellent customer service.’ The release continued that Sure Gig recognized the importance of aligning with Guyana’s unfolding economic landscape and has therefore opted for NewHayven as its financial ally. The new funding, the release says, not only strengthens Sure Gig’s financial foundation, but better enables them to deliver unparalleled end-to-end support for workforce management and logistics needs for both local and international markets.
Filisha Duke, CEO and Founder of Sure Gig, in the release, stated, “It’s exciting because we have their support, their undivided support, not just the finance side of it. They have an amazing CFO, Mr. Kris Appanah, they’ve been advising us and now we’re more confident in going after these big projects because we know we have support.” Duke added, “We have found a partner who believes in our company’s vision”.
And Floyd Haynes, Chairman of NHMB, in the release said, “NewHayven remains dedicated to playing a pivotal role in propelling economic growth for businesses in Guyana.” He added, “We understand the challenges faced by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in securing financing and we are positioned to be their bridge to financial empowerment.”
In its release, NewHayven said it remains steadfast in its mission to fuel growth and drive economic prosperity throughout Guyana by facilitating access to finance and fostering strategic partnerships with MSMEs throughout the region.
