The Development Bank of Nigeria is currently giving loans to start-up entrepreneurs and existing business owners to foster the sale of their business ventures and sustainable economic development.
The DBN loan is aimed towards entrepreneurs who have creative and innovative mindsets and those whose businesses are providing solutions and jobs to society. If you currently have a business plan or already own a business within Nigeria, you can apply for the DBN loan application 2022.
All MSMEs (start-up or existing) involved in productive enterprises are eligible for the loan. However, they must be customers of eligible financial institutions.

DBN loan repayment tenure is flexible (up to 10 years with a moratorium period of up to 18 months) and the interest rates are on a market-conforming and fully financially sustainable basis.
