Dear Applicant,

@ Iroanuna The fund is definitely not a grant but a loan. It says so on the YES application portal.

From my visit to BoI before they started the YES program, I was told that BoI funds machines and working capital should not be more than 10% of the total amount you are applying for BUT YES is different from their usual mode of operation so maybe this will not apply to us. Maybe a visit to BoI can clarify this. (If anyone finds out, please share here).

YES will have more than one stream in a year and the 1200 which was increased to 4000 applies to the total number of beneficiaries in a year. All their press releases say so. So let's not rest on our oars but do this training diligently to get the loan. It is not often you get a single digit loan for new businesses and without collateral. Commercial banks would normally take above 23% and that is not even simple interest.

The era of grants is over, no more free money. lipsrsealed
