Here’s How You Can Quickly Get Your Loan Approved!
For many who have been running their business, financial liquidity becomes a top priority as it is crucial for sustaining your business. Seeking loans is often a top choice for securing working capital or funding to support business growth. How to Prepare for Loan Approvals Getting a loan approved requires more than just preparing essential documents. The success lies in a good financial transaction history and demonstrating strong financial management. Most lenders base their approval decisions on the following criteria: Credibility of the borrower: Assessed based on work history, financial background, and other personal information. Repayment ability of the borrower: Criteria may vary depending on the type of loan. Purpose of the loan: Considered along with the presence of a guarantor or collateral. Additionally, lenders will also consider other external factors which may affect your ability to repay the loan such as the economic and social conditions or on-going conflicts which can increase the cost of daily essentials. When applying for a loan, you must prepare by managing financial accounts effectively to build credibility and increase the chances of loan approval. Here are some key factors that can help with the approval process: Register your business with relevant parties: Having a good legal standing means half the work is already done! Legally registering your business confirms that it is operational and enhances your loan approval chances through accurate tax reporting. Maintain regular account transactions: Keep a clear record of all income and expenses related to your business, in particular operating costs, trade creditors, trade debtors, and inventory. This builds credibility and helps lenders with the approval process. Minimise outstanding debts: While having some debt can build credit history, showing your ability to repay is a key factor in loan approval. Choose the right type of loan for your business: Select the loan type that suits your business needs while taking into account expenses, debt obligations, and income. Remember that loan repayments include interest as part of your repayment obligations. Last but not least, the easiest solution is to run a business that uses NTT DATA Payment Services payment system, where merchants can apply for working capital loans directly from us. We offer special business loans with favourable interest rates exclusively for SMEs as well as small retailers using our payment systems. Key features include: · Loan repayment terms of up to 12 months · No collateral required · Loan amounts up to 750,000 THB · Special services for our merchants For more information, visit https://th.nttdatapay.com/businessloan-th

A Great Start Requires a Great Plan! 7 Things You Need to Know Before Starting a Business
Starting a business is like stepping into a highly competitive field, where proper preparation is crucial for new entrepreneurs. To ensure your business’s stability and achieve your desired returns, meticulous planning and preparation are essential before taking the plunge. 7 Things to Know Before Starting a Business:For those about to start a business, you might have heard the famous quote from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA): “95% of new businesses fail.” This statement highlights the challenges and acts as a reminder that owning a business is not easy. If you are unsure where to begin, we are here to help you plan comprehensively. 1. Know Yourself: Assess Your Skills and Interests The first thing you need to ask yourself before starting a business is finding out your skills and interests; knowing what you enjoy or are passionate about is crucial for long-term business success. Merely focusing on profit isn't enough. Starting with something you love will help you stay committed for longer, and when challenges arise, your passion will help you persevere rather than be discouraged. 2. Understand Your Customers: Identify Your Target Audience Understanding your “customers” is key to the success of any business; you need to know who your target audience is, their behavior, and their interests. The more clearly your target group is defined, the better you can plan your marketing strategy. For example, for a fashion business targeting teenagers and young professionals, your store should be located near offices, schools, or universities. 3. Study the Market: Analyse Strengths and Weaknesses When preparing to start a business, you need to comprehensively analyse the market, particularly in industries where market share is competitive. You should thoroughly understand the market you plan to enter, including the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors, while also developing your own strengths and improving your weaknesses, both in terms of service and products. 4. Develop Your Own Business Plan Before starting a business, you need to develop a business plan that provides a comprehensive overview of your business, allowing a clearer direction from the beginning to lead you to success. A business plan helps you to prioritise goals and strategies, ensuring your business operates efficiently and minimises potential errors. 5. Test the Market: Adapt and Improve This step is where you turn your ideas and plans into reality. Actual experience with real problems is the best way to learn. No matter how well thought-out your plan is, results are unpredictable until you put your plans into action. If you’re selling products, start with a small production to gauge the market and customer behaviour, then use the data to further develop your products. 6. Build a Strong Team for Effective Results As your business grows, building a good team of people who share the same vision and goals is crucial. Having a strong team with experts in various fields is the key to running a business effectively and successfully. 7. Prepare Investment and Comprehensive Financial Management Financial planning is vital when preparing to start a business. Carefully design your financial plan from the start to manage risks and create a contingency plan for potential financial emergencies. By having a well-maintained set of financial records, you will know where your revenue, direct and indirect costs, and hidden expenses come from, as well as how to effectively track daily sales. To support you as you leap into the world of entrepreneurship, let GHL assist in managing your store’s finances with ease. Our comprehensive payment solutions cover all needs, allowing you to generate daily sales summaries quickly to further grow your business effectively. Interested in GHL’s services? Contact us today!

How to Prepare for a Successful Restaurant Business from the Start!
Opening a restaurant may be a dream for many, but turning that dream into reality requires careful preparation across several areas, such as food, service, marketing, and finances. This article highlights 7 key steps that aspiring restaurant owners should know, including planning strategies, marketing techniques, and promotional methods to help your business grow and succeed. 7 Key Steps to Prepare for Your Restaurant Launch: 1. Signature Dishes with Captivating Flavors The heart of any restaurant is in the taste of its food. Having distinctive and unique signature dishes is crucial to attracting customers and leaving a lasting impression that keeps them coming back for more! Sourcing high-quality ingredients, developing unique recipes, and presenting food in an appealing way are essential to building customer loyalty and turning occasional diners into regulars. 2. Accessible Location Location is another vital factor in the success of a restaurant. Choosing a prime location involves selecting a bustling area with high foot traffic, close to communities or workplaces, ensuring easy and convenient access for customers. Additionally, having sufficient parking or access to public transportation options is crucial. For restaurants that are not easily accessible or lack parking facilities, offering delivery services is an excellent option to reach customers without them needing to visit in person—a trend that has become increasingly popular today. 3. Sourcing Financial Capital Opening a restaurant requires substantial capital, which includes the cost of goods, rent, deposits, wages, utilities, and marketing expenses. It is advisable to prepare and evaluate working capital, ensuring a financial reserve sufficient for at least 4-6 months as a contingency for potential losses during the initial stages of operation. This ensures that the business can continue operating even in the event of losses. Sources of working capital can include personal funds, business loans, or investments from partners. It is essential to carefully consider and plan these options in advance. 4. Restaurant Management System Efficient management systems are key to smooth restaurant operations, from order management, inventory management, staff supervision, to accounting. Especially in this digital age, where integrating technology can enhance efficiency and potentially reduce costs. · Payment Systems: As most people rarely carry cash nowadays, restaurants must provide cashless payment methods, including QR code scanning, e-wallets (e.g., TrueMoney Wallet, Rabbit LINE Pay, Dolfin Wallet, ShopeePay), and card readers for credit and debit cards, providing convenience to customers and mitigating errors and risks associated with cash handling within the restaurant. · Point of Sale (POS) Systems: A quality POS system simplifies front-end management, including order processing, billing, stock monitoring, daily sales reporting, and promotion management. · Employee Management Systems: Allows easy management of human resources and associated costs, helping to streamline the administration of human resources and related expenses. If you are seeking a user-friendly, all-in-one payment solution, we recommend GHL's wireless (EDC) and POS system.

Hiring staff to assist with operations and customer service is essential for smooth operations. When recruiting, it is important to select employees who are skilled and have a service mindset. Furthermore, regular training should be provided to maintain quality control, enhance staff knowledge, and ensure the best customer experience. 6. Ingredients and Inventory Management Choosing high-quality ingredients and efficient inventory management is vital to maintaining food standards and minimising waste. Careful sourcing is essential this includes selecting the right suppliers, ensuring fresh deliveries, and maintaining proper storage. It's also important to track ingredient quantities and shelf life to avoid shortages or excessive waste. 7. Marketing Plan In today’s competitive market, effective marketing is crucial to build brand awareness and attract customers, especially for those starting or have opened a restaurant recently. Your marketing plan should include both online and offline strategies. Use social media to share food images, videos, and stories, run targeted ads, engage influencers, offer promotions, partner with other businesses, and organise events to boost your restaurant's visibility. While opening a restaurant may not be easy, with proper preparation, readiness, and a well-defined plan to address potential challenges, you can achieve your dream and succeed. By following the 7 guidelines we’ve provided, combined with thorough research of the restaurant market, your business is sure to grow effectively and sustainably.

Modern Retail Businesses: How to Thrive in 2025
Adapting to rapid shifts in customer behavior is crucial for businesses of all sizes. These shifts are frequently driven by technological advancements and economic changes. To remain competitive and project professionalism, we recommend using EDC card machines, an essential tool for modern retail stores that can create profit opportunities for your business. What is a Retail Business? A retail business involves the buying and selling of goods or services directly to consumers. It distributes products to the end consumer who purchases them for personal use. Examples include convenience stores, pharmacies, cafes, supermarkets such as Tesco Lotus, Big C, as well as department stores such as The Mall, Central, and Robinsons. Why Modern Retail Stores Should Have Card Machines for Payments? The trend of cashless payments is growing, leading consumers to choose other payment options over cash. These include credit or debit cards, e-wallets, or QR code PromptPay. It is essential for modern retail businesses to adapt and facilitate acceptance of these payment types. Here's why you should consider using EDC card machines in your retail business: o Increase Sales Opportunities: EDC card readers offer various payment services, facilitating tourist spending with support for Alipay and Alipay+, which are popular among foreign tourists. They are easy to use, convenient, and can accurately convert foreign currencies to Thai baht. o Safer than Cash Payments: Reduces the need to keep large amounts of cash in the store's cash register, and provides convenience for customers who do not carry cash. o Daily Transaction Report Service: Helps stores plan marketing strategies, design products that cater to customer preferences, and gain insights for future marketing efforts. o Systematic and Fast Sales Revenue: Banks transfer sales made through card machines the next day, saving time in managing store finances. o Reduce Cash Handling Issues: Prevents common cash-related problems such as accounting discrepancies, lost money, incorrect change, or employee theft. o Store Standardisation and Customer Image Enhancement: Projects an image of professionalism, user-friendliness and reliability to customers by supporting modern payment methods.
