When you step into Print Mega today, you see a vibrant, full-service print shop—stickers, banners, wall graphics, T-shirts, business cards, documents, everything. But the story began far from the printing world: inside a cybercafé near Sunway University in 2008.

Born in a cybercafé, shaped by an unexpected surge of demand

“Why are so many students rushing in at this hour?”

The founder still remembers asking himself that question on a quiet night that suddenly turned chaotic.

In those early days, the founders were focused on keeping students in the cafe, not printing. As the café stayed open past midnight, students began rushing in to print their last-minute assignments.

With every nearby print shop already closed, the cybercafé unexpectedly became their final lifeline. Students kept returning. Demand kept rising. The founders added printers, one machine at a time.

At first, it was simply to help. But as requests grew, they made a bold decision:
If they were already investing in machines, why not fully commit?
The cybercafé slowly evolved into a dedicated print shop.

They followed the voices of their customers and expanded the printing side of the business. But the new beginning wasn’t a smooth ride.

The tough call that led them to win against 120 competitors

Over the years, online printing services surged. Competition exploded. Within a 5 km radius, there were more than 120 print shops. 

Survival required something stronger than price cuts. For Print Mega, the answer was clear: speed. They built trust by delivering fast.
However, expanding their services required continuous investment in equipment. 

Family support initially helped, but couldn’t sustain long-term growth. Applying for bank loans proved difficult; approvals were nearly impossible for small businesses.

Meanwhile, orders kept coming. Without proper cash flow, delivery delays became a real threat. And a single delay could damage the trust they had spent years building.

The support that kept their reputation safe — the moment Funding Bee stepped in

At that turning point, they discovered Funding Bee. To their surprise, the response was fast. The process was flexible, quick, and far more human than any bank they had approached. Communication was clear from the start, something they had never experienced with traditional loan applications.

What impressed them most was how Funding Bee worked as a non-bank business loan provider that understood the real challenges of SME financing. 

With this timely injection of funding, they secured the working capital needed to avoid delays. In a tough moment, having a reliable finance partner made all the difference. The alternative business loan became a lifeline, helping them deliver on time and protect their hard-earned reputation.

For Print Mega, this small business loan was more than financing—it was the key to keeping their promises to customers when it mattered most.

Next steps and encouragement for other small businesses

Today, customers often ask whether Print Mega plans to open more branches.

But the founder thinks differently. Growth doesn’t always mean expanding locations. It means specialising. Niche printing. High-demand machines. Services competitors can’t easily copy.

SMEs, he says, grow through networks and by having the right financial partner. As Print Mega pushes toward new ideas and specialised machines, he hopes to continue working with Funding Bee, not just on financing, but on shared belief in helping Malaysian businesses thrive.
