unaffected by external factors.
We are deeply concerned about the poverty and economic
starvation that we see around us. Like the visionary we understand
the fact that the way out was not through doles, but through financial
empowerment and with the life view, we started Paragon Finance,
an entity dedicated providing finance to those on whom the doors
of convectional credit was shut so that they too could join the
economic mainstream. Today, many decades on, the dream has taken
concrete shape and Paragon Finance Ltd is an unique entity which
continues to instill the light of self reliance in the eyes of business

continued to grow, as greed is not our driving force, viewing ourselves
as facilitators in the process of financial empowerment of those
in need. We do not view ourselves as mere financers of commercial
vehicles, but rather we are a part of family that owns and operates
a commercial vehicles. Thus in extreme cases where our loans go
bad, we not only know the reasons, but also have the rectifying
medicines ready converting a threat into an opportunity. |
