Mr Adu Larbi, the Board Chair of Beige Capital, said the new branch was a statement of the company’s business and its direction.

He described the company as a solid and robust institution. “We want   to partner small, medium enterprises and interview in the catchment area to help them achieve growth of their easy. We want to build a lasting mutually beneficial relationship. We are keen to offer services and products to meet the needs of the people.”
