    Zedvance Unveils “Keeping SMEs Alive” Campaign, Offers Zero-interest Loans to Small Businesses

    Leading consumer and SME finance company, Zedvance Finance Limited has revealed plans to empower small and medium-sized businesses with interest-free credit to catalyze their growth against the backdrop of the global economic downturn occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.
    Driven by a need to create a support system for SMEs at this uncertain time, the company will be running a 3-week virtual campaign with the theme: “Keeping SMEs Alive”.

    Speaking on the initiative, the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Zedvance Finance, Ever Obi said the objective of the initiative is to help SMEs stay afloat at this crucial time and to promote economic enterprise in line with the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility pillars.

    “We understand the critical role loans play in helping SMEs looking to take their businesses to the forefront of the market. More importantly, we know that interest-free loans will allow them to accelerate growth by reducing the burden of loan interest payment.”

    “Essentially, we are creating a support system for SMEs. Majority of our youth are budding entrepreneurs. While we provide ‘safe’ capital for them, we believe that some level of guidance on corporate and product strategy will also be invaluable. For this reason, we will be having five top entrepreneurs that will be speaking on different topics on entrepreneurship via our social media platform during the campaign”, he said.
