In a recent forum for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), The French Baker founder and chief executive JohnLu Koa (in photo) talked about the importance of having a solid bank as a partner. “It is always good to have a strong backing of a bank to make our business grow. I invested a relationship with BDO like a friend. It pays attention to you, at what you do, and at your potential. All these years, my relationship with BDO has been instrumental because it looks after you and has enough resources to help you plan,” he said.
