Just as your bad grammar shows that you lack adequate knowledge in the use of English Language, you lacked the needed information in Organic skin care business. How do I know? Do you have a business plan NO!

Hello everyone.Am a guy in in early twenties,.
I wanted a better life for myself, without the help of anyone,.

So I collected a loan from a friend, he lent me a 100k to start the organic skincare business, two months ago.
Which we agreed on an interest of 13.5%, and had it on papers too.

So I was able to make production in two weeks,.
Fast forward.

So I was unable to pay the interest rate of 13.5%, so Iwas able to pay 10%, which is 10,000.

The guy got mad, he was really angry.
But due to d fact my skincare products is just still new, sales was just so poor.

Now I am to pay him, today for the interest unlucky for me I fell into the hands of some fraudsters, I lost my money. But the issue is, I can't pay the interest now, my business isn't showing any positivity. Am frustrated, I need advice on what next to do.

He is now sending me message and insults, thinking am doing this on purpose..


Please mind my grammar and punctuations

Lesson number one, you don't borrow money to start business... You borrow money to grow it

Except it is a long term loan 5-7yrs

Your friend gave you funding and you fell into the hands of scammers. If you weren't greedy, scammers won't scam you.

Police would still enter this matter and your family members would pay back every penny.

Pls be calm you are still alive you can pay back. Just talk to him if their is anything you can give to stand till the money is available. Or you can talk to an elder person to follow u to talk to him. Every business will always come with profit and lost only charity comes with profit and no

3,500 that's the remainder for the loan you took. It's a shameless and lack of character to try to renegotiate a loan.
Go and sort out your creditor first. Make him understand that you want to pay him only that you need a little more time.
If you play wi your creditor you won't be on the right platform, ethically and morally, to do business.

You wanted a better life for yourself without the help of anyone and yet you took a loan from a Friend. Is a loan not a help from someone? Your mentality alone showed that you're too immature to start a business in the first place.

Seriously, people think when they have the craft they are good to go. Marketing skills and strategy is important.
No market strategies drafted. That's why the business failed. Never give up though, try again but this time plan well

I don't want to blame you for anything all i can tell you things will get better cuz starting a business and expecting it to boom so fast is nt a good mindset while starting. Just try to settle your friend and face the biz also try side hustles if you can cope. Good luck 100% wishing you success.

Now tell us more about the interest rate: is it a monthly flat rate or per annum.

Now if you pay 10% on borrowed funds to fund a new product, I would call it utter stupidity.

Ensure you repay the loan asap, less you mess up your finances.

See, go back to your village. Get a property and sell. Come back to the city, pay the dude, buy sense with the balance.

Fine, guy see don't borrow to start business. Okay?
Start hustle, come back to your business again, don't quit. It will serve as a lesson.

I raised money(2.6million naira) for my business without borrowing and all those Cooperative societies you're talking about. He can do it with the right mindset and strategies. Once again, it's not really a good idea to borrow money for a business as he has painfully learnt
you raise 2.6 mil doesn't make all fingers equal. we came from different families and different responsibilities.

you may earn 100k and save 70k monthly, and someone else may earn 200k and unable to save 30k a month.
Our responsibilities differs

OP you can get back up. Forget the negative minds here that are mocking you. I too lost about 650k on my first buisiness. 400k in it was a loan. And I got back up by changing buisiness after I realized my mistakes. I paid back the loan in a year.

Kindly take some quiet time reflect on what went wrong.
Explain to your friend how it went. And Plead with him to give you time to sort things out.
See how you can revive your skin care biz. If you could pay 10% that means you can still do better. Maybe you should go for another loan with lesser interest to see how you can get things backup.
