Has A Bank Ever Rejected Your Small Business Loan Application? by msacent(op): 7:39pm On May 10
Has anyone here ever been rejected for a loan from a commercial bank for their small business? What reason did they give you?

Yes oooooooo. I can’t forget , about 28 years ago before I entered University. It was during university where I studied Finance I now knew the reason. Different accounting ratios will be calculated to ascertain your payment capacity and if you would not default on the loan. Things like bad day, normal and good day sales will be taken into consideration along with your collateral (liquidation value) in case you default.

I was just a young guy wanting to delve into a small business just to start up after Secondary school, but I was turned down because I hadn’t “established “ myself yet.

Such is life sha !

The way commercial banks frustrate credit facilities is what made these criminal Fintech apps charge exorbitant rates for loans.

This word "update" here sounds VERY suspicious.

Yes, they do offer loans to customers. However, based on my experience, these loans are primarily given to already established businesses with high turnover, businesses that often do not even need the funding. In many cases, they actively encourage or persuade such businesses to take the loans.

How economy go grow when institutions don’t have faith or see the visions of SMEs?

They’ll say it’s safety. But they forget that in most big economies of the world, institutions and government give SMEs room and support to thrive.
Re: Has A Bank Ever Rejected Your Small Business Loan Application? by Kingray10: 6:44pm On May 11
They all give loan, mainly to salary account or govt workers. Or a reputable company that pays consistently.
Another way you can go about it is, open a salary account with them. After 6 months of consistent payments you can demand for a loan. Access bank can run that for you, if you meet the prerequisite.

Access bank will direct you to an account officer who will never pick your call again immediately you mention loan. It doesn't matter how viable the business is, they will never reply your mails, chats or ever return your calls.
But when the funds finally came from another source I use them do yeye taya

Banks in Nigeria don't typically give small business loans,if you want a small business loan it's better to approach a micro finance Bank

Can you blame them? When the average Nigerian wants loan, they are meek, humble when seeking the loan, but when it comes to making payments they become bold like lions, they know the best lawyers to avoid paying. Making a Nigerian pay loan is like dragging an ekuke to have a bath. You will hear all emotional talk of how their father died or their kid fell ill when it was time to make payment. You heard of the guy VDM spoke about that got loan through the goodwill of his judge friend, time to pay the man started trying to blackmail the lady judge that he will expose that she is the real owner of the money. Vdm got the man's bank statement, the whole money (100m)went on his wife, his girlfriend, phones, bet naija, nairabet etc. This was someone that said he got a fgn contract and needed loan to finance it. All the money gone within 2 months, all that was remaining was like 5k!
See it is not in our nature to pay loan as Nigerians, the average Joe will take sokoloan, fairmoney, opay etc, chop the money and come on this forum to claim loan app is disturbing him, and he will get plenty of support from fellow onigbese. The fastest way to make enemies with your siblings or close friends is to lend them money how much more a bank you have no emotional attachment to.

Yes, severally. It really taught me a lesson that nobody in this world can help you except God through hard work and resilience. Our banks are scammers and slave drivers. They only give loans to their associates, even without collateral
