أطلقت سنونو صندوق تمكين للنمو بقيمة 5 ملايين ريال، لتقديم تمويل دون فوائد للتجار المحليين الشركاء على منصتها، من مطاعم ومقاهٍ ومتاجر تجزئة ومتاجر متخصصة.

Snoonu has launched the Tamkeen Growth Fund, QAR 5 million in interest-free growth capital for local merchant partners on its platform: restaurants, cafés, retailers and specialty stores.

What the programme offers, per the Snoonu Merchant Portal: – Growth advances of QAR 5,000–35,000 per eligible local brand – 0% interest, no fees – Recovered in six equal monthly amounts from Snoonu payouts – Nothing is deducted until the merchant has signed and been paid

Funds can go to expanding operations, upgrading equipment, building inventory or strengthening staff.

Applications run through the Snoonu Merchant Portal and close on 30 October. Every application is scored on the same criteria: partnership history with Snoonu, operational performance and business growth. Approved merchants receive an agreement setting the final amount and recovery schedule.

Founder and CEO Hamad Al-Hajri: merchants are "the backbone of Snoonu, and the heart of what we have built."
