WEMA Bank Personal Loans
Every now and then, people find themselves in dire need of money whether it's for personal or business reasons. It is a well-known fact that running a business comes with a lot of challenges, and capital is a major one. Businesses that are capital intensive may require the owner to seek loans from family, friends, or external sources. Loans are needed to finance and upscale businesses as well as take care of personal needs.
In our personal lives, emergencies can crop up which inevitably demands that we make a move to get a loan. This could be a home or device repair, an unexpected travel emergency, or medical expenses, and getting a loan would go a long way in preventing one from being stranded. Also, lack of information also makes us go in the wrong direction.
Generally, qualifying for a business loan in Nigeria hinges on the profitability of the business (clearly stated in the business plan), while for personal loans, it's determined by the individual's ability to pay back.
