Financing Details

Loan: The program offers a repayable sum, structured as a loan. This means you'll need to pay back the borrowed amount over a specified period.

Interest Rates and Repayment Terms: The loan comes with a competitive interest rate, which remains fixed throughout the term, making it easier for you to plan your finances. Repayment terms are flexible, with options to extend up to 10 years, depending on your business needs and loan amount. Early repayment is possible without penalty, giving you the freedom to manage your debt as your cash flow allows.

Eligible Expenses: You can use the funds for a variety of business-related expenses, including but not limited to equipment purchases, operational costs, and expansion projects. The aim is to provide financial support that helps you grow and sustain your business.

Restrictions on Use of Funds: The loan cannot be used for refinancing existing debts or for non-business related expenditures. This ensures that the funds are utilized for productive, business-enhancing purposes.
