Trade: Hair Salon Location: Chiah, Beirut Around forty years ago, Hikmat and her husband took the initiative of opening a hair salon in Chiah. They were well known among the inhabitants of this popular district and their enterprise worked well. Then in October 2016, a fire broke out in the salon and much of the premises and equipment was beyond repair. Hikmat heard about AEP and contacted our Credit officer. A loan of $3000 was granted, allowing her to restore the salon and resume her activity. Today, even if it lingers in the memory, the fire no longer affects work.
