Herconomy Updates
Get up to N10,000,000 Financing for Your Business!!!
As a female entrepreneur, what can your business achieve with N10,000,000 funding? 🤔
It’s no news that startups founded by men tend to receive a lot more funding that women-run startups. The stats are there!
As a company deeply devoted to the economic empowerment of women, we are working tirelessly to #breakthebias in all areas. And today, we are breaking the Bias in business funding!
This is why we are excited to announce our partnership with @altfinanceng to fund women-owned businesses for expansion.
Members of our community can expressly have access to N300,000,000 funding! Join our community for free by downloading our mobile app on android or iOS and start applying TODAY!
The sweetest part of this is the pay back rate. You only get to pay 13% over a period of 2 years. For example, if you take out 10m today, you’d only need to pay back only N11,130,000 back in total over 2 years (this is pretty much 6.5% per annum). You get a 3-month moratorium period.
Let’s break this bias together!
Apply for the Herconomy Financing for Women, powered by Sterling @altfinanceng.
Link to apply is in our bio.
Tell all the females you know! Their businesses don’t neeed to die or remain stagnant due to lack of funds.
Let’s show the world what Nigerian women are capable of when they get the money they need!
