But first…
Types of GEEP loan in Nigeria RIGHT NOW
The following are the collateral-free loan schemes under Government Enterprise and Empowerment Program (GEEP) powered by Federal Government’s Bank of Industry (BOI):
- Tradermoni
- Marketmoni
- Farmermoni
All the above loans are part of FG’s GEEP loan under the Social Intervention Programme (SIP)
Difference between GEEP marketmoni and tradermoni
While tradermoni gives petty traders access to loan up to N50,000, you can access up to N100,000 through GEEP MarketMoni.
The loan, which only attracts a five per cent one-time administrative charge, is repayable within a period of six months, with two weeks grace period.
Objective of GEEP loan scheme is:
“To provide loans to market women and traders, artisans, enterprising youths and small scale farmers and agric workers nationwide”
Role of BOI in GEEP marketmoni loan scheme
BOI is a bank that specifically provides access to funds for startups, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and large enterprises. Simply put, BOI facilitates the entire process of loan application for SMEs.
The interest-free loans under marketmoni range between N10,000 and N100,000 for SMEs
It kick started more than a year ago, and today (at the time of putting this guide together) BOI has disbursed N15,183,278,000 to 350,000 beneficiaries in 4,632 associations in Nigeria.
