Why Start With Low Amounts?

The people targeted for these loans are at the Micro Level. In 2013, NBS and SMEDAN did a survey and they found out that the total number of MSMEs in Nigeria stood at 37,067,416, Micro – 36,994,578, Small – 68,168, and Medium – 4,670. 68.35% of this number (i.e. 23.3m MSMEs) initial start-up capital was predominantly less than N50,000. This was the justification and it was based on data not politics or BUYING vote like some mischievous and disgruntled elements have posited You may ask, why not N1m or N10m or N50m?

Why TraderMoni and MarketMoni Were Initiated?

There are already other intervention funds like the CBN MSMEDF which gives from N500,000 to N50m to SMEs. To access this fund, you need a business plan, you need to be registered with CAC and you need collateral.

How many market women, artisans and traders do you know who can prepare a business plan, register their business with CAC and have sufficient collateral to attract the CBN’s N220 Billion SME loan? Aside from this, the BOI also has a similar loan targeted at SMEs as well.

So what has been happening is that the big SMEs with the strength to do so have been able to access the other intervention funds targeted at SMEs, but those at the micro level have been unable to do so mainly because of structural reasons.
