Hi everyone,
What are some avenues that freelancers and business people can use to access loans? I am asking this because many financial institutions prefer giving loans to salaried people. Can I get loan through my shares? Please help

Yes you can. Equity bank will give you 50% of the value of your shares. You will need to transfer the shares you will use as security to Equity bank broker.

You can also contact Lions Capital Limited. They have a product that allows you to get finance against shares or unit trusts.

@ onmywaytowealth

Try Jamii bora bank. They give loans to groups of 5 members; the members register a group name with the bank and save consistently for 6 weeks to qualify. To get the loans members guarantee each other.

The starting amounts might be kidogo..… but I suppose that’s how you start on your way there…..

NB: I have NOT used this facility but maybe someone here has.

Join a relevant sacco and contribute for 6 months then you can borrow 3 times the amount saved.

PLEASE NO! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN EARLY FINANCIAL GRAVE---AVOID. and yes, the caps lock is intentional.
banks don't prefer salaried people only,they prefer to loan to businesses that have run for a minimum of 6months.
Try the barclays unsecured loan they ask for an extra 1000shs per month payment on top of monthly interest payments.They are bad but not as bad as loan sharks.
