Background

Established under the full ownership of the Minister of Finance (Incorporated), Pernas is entrusted with spearheading the development of the national franchise industry in building a sustainable, competitive, and internationally recognised ecosystem.


Introduction

As a franchise development agency, we don’t just support; we shape the future. Through the provision of financing, training, expert mentoring, and access to market opportunities, Pernas acts as a catalyst for the growth of franchise businesses of all backgrounds and sizes; from micro-entrepreneurs to brands ready to step onto the global stage.
