From Limited Space to Local Favorite: How LOLC Financing Helped Transform “Sromoch Khmao” Restaurant

Are you looking for a pathway to grow your business and improve your family's financial stability? If so, let’s explore the business success story of Mr. Nhein Kimheang, the owner of the “Sromoch Khmao” restaurant located in Veal Veng District, Pursat Province, after wisely using loans from LOLC (Cambodia) along with his clear vision!

Mr. Kimheang’s restaurant is well known in the surrounding area because of its delicious food and fast, customer-friendly service. Many customers often praise and acknowledge “Sromoch Khmao” as one of the best places to eat for both locals and travelers passing through the district. In addition to the restaurant business, Mr. Kimheang and his wife also operate a motorcycle and car washing service, which has gained considerable support from people in the area.


Although he is successful today, Mr. Kimheang once faced many challenges that held back his business growth, such as having a small and narrow business space, difficult access for customers, and limited household finances. However, through perseverance and strong belief in his own determination, he chose LOLC (Cambodia) as his financial partner to help turn his dreams into reality.

With the support of LOLC (Cambodia), in 2018 Mr. Kimheang began using his first loan of USD 10,000 to improve his restaurant location and purchase nearby land for future use, as well as renovate his home. He continued applying for additional loans aimed at expanding his restaurant and enlarging his business space to make it more comfortable and accessible for customers. With the remaining loan funds, he also purchased a vehicle for business operations and family use.

The support from LOLC (Cambodia) has truly helped Mr. Kimheang strengthen and expand his business, achieve financial stability, and improve his family’s living conditions. In the end, he expressed great happiness and pride in himself for successfully managing and growing his business.
