W Power Loan

Our W Power Loan is a financing scheme specially designed to provide financial support for all female owned businesses

An African proverb says, “If you strike a woman, you strike a rock”, reminding us of the power of women.

For this reason, we created the W power loan.  It is specially designed to close the financing gap for female-owned businesses by providing access to loans and credit facilities.

Loans are granted in two broad areas:

  • Term Loan: meant for asset acquisition and infrastructure upgrades, use this loan to buy machinery, equipment and all other fixed assets needed for your business.

  • Working Capital: use this loan to purchase raw materials or settle other daily operating expenses of the business.
