Their t&c, interest rate & recovery method is not often healthy; they will be a major distraction to you sooner or later except your biz is a low level petty biznes like BB, dry foodstuffs retailing, fruits selling etc.

Make other findings, see if you could source your funding from more relaxed or liberal sources. You could even consider partnership or bringing in investing bodies into your fishing sturvs m structure on permanent or temporary basis.

Especially when this capital financing effort is not geared towards expanding an already thriving business base, overcoming the recession assisted inertia may be too much of an effort for you on your virgin venture.

If it's a new business,it's a No No. If an existing one, why not if u can put up a plan to meet up weekly payments. Pardon their aggresive repayment method,Nigerian's are very slow to debth repayment.

There is a reason getting a loan to finance a startup is not advisable, your new business need time to stabilize, if you are entirely new to the business, you need time to master the tricks, products and build your customer base, all of these can take time, meanwhile micro finance only have weekly/monthly loan repayment plan, though they usually give the first week/month as grace period, you will need to start paying back immediately you get loans as loans given to you is tied to the credit officer ( micro finance staff ) that approve the loan for you, hence they do everything within their power to recover their loan.

My advise, don’t get a loan to start up a business.

Most businesses have thrived on Aid from Finance Houses. Sadly, it it also true some finance houses drain and kill MSMEs with their practices.
However, times are changing and more institution offer new and better ways to help MSMEs.

*aggresive calls if your repayment rate is poor
*crowd visitation at your business place which can be embarrassing
*your properties could go in for unpaid loans etc
