Many young aspiring Nigerian entrepreneurs have an idea for their business but lack the capital to actually start it. Getting loans for Loans for Nigerian Startups can be incredibly difficult, as they are often turned down for bank loans, and even if your business is established, funds can still be tough to secure.

Angel investors

Angel investors invest in early-stage or startup companies in exchange for a 30 to 40 percent return on their investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. They have helped to start up many prominent companies, including Google and Costco.  They also provide strategic experience that benefits the company they are investing in.

Venture capitalists

Venture capital is money that is given to help build new startups that are considered to have both high-growth and high-risk potential. Fast-growth companies with an exit strategy already in place can gain up to tens of millions of dollars that can be used to invest, network and grow their company frequently.
