I find this site helpful, it guides me for raising funds through The Tony Elumelu Foundation for my business. Though it's tasking to follow through at the same time it worth my time. After the learning process, I saw reasons entrepreneurs with superb business ideas just like you and other Nigerians don't get shortlisted for the nonrefundable of 1.5M grant ($5000) given by The Tony Elumelu Foundation every year!!!

Try the service of the TEF mentor, it might be the solution for your funding problem!!!

I've learnt a lot. Animation, graphics. I'm learning programming now. It's all depends on dedication.

Thanks boss

Ask Davido to borrow you, but not loan. And please, do well to pay back on time.
Try your luck there, who knows.

You said they should not use loan to start a business but to expand... Good thou but.
My question is what if you have a monthly pay cheque and obtain a loan to kick start the business while the bank take repayment from your salary? What's your take on this

my take is this never collect a loan to start your business, instead of using your monthly pay cheque to pay as repayment, why dont you use that money with the other money you have to grow your business.

when you have leverage, banks will come to you and you can negotiate good loan deals for your business but for now, focus on bootstrapping your business.

lol. We help each other. There was time he was down and needed money as well. He reached out and I gave.. But he did over 1000% of what I gave lol.

Friends helping each other succeed, you both are lucky

don't deceived ursef. na naija will they.if ur mama,papa,can give u money.go hussle hard.bank go give u story,u go fill firm tire for loan which is risky.except u wan go open ur legs for alahaji,sleep with animals for u to get that money.who quote me should hug transformer

People are taking about loan as if it is easy..when you no get steady salary work like civi servant forget loan

pickatyou:
NNE sorry, won't want to dash your hopes or say you should not try but banking on anyone to bankroll you will only frustrate you and kill your hope.

First rule in the street, there are no friends(family inclusive) you are a lone ranger till you make it.

O boy wisdom no go kill you. Nobody know you for street. Na OYO we all dey

I love this thread

Lately, I have summoned the courage to start up a business. I have several business ideas but had being afraid to make the move because of all that is involved. I am ready to do so now but faced with the challenge of getting funds.
I will need about half a million to kick off and don't want to start with loan.

Do I need to write a proposal and submit to my prospective helpers or do I just meet and explain to them. I hope also to raise the fund from family and friends. How do I go about it please.

Thanks.

Sadly, you need just 500 people on this thread to give you 1,000 naira each, and voila...you have the 500,000 you are looking for to start your business....but then,13,000 people have viewed and only made comments

the thing is, the OP hasn't even bothered returning to this thread nor replied any of the recent comments thus far. so, it seems apparent that she's are no longer interested in the funding.

Good evening sir, since the op is no longer interested, can I slide into your pm?

I need just #150,000 to properly set up a road side caravan spag and turkey grilling business...

the returns are very attractive... I've been interning with someone already in the business for sometime now, so I have first hand knowledge of the business ...

if you grant me permission to slide into your dm, then we can talk more... we could even meet in person

No. Not interested.
