About the Loan

The Inua Biashara Loan is a medium short-term financing solution offered by Kechita Capital, specifically designed to empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Kenya. This loan product bridges the gap for businesses that have outgrown microloans but still require accessible, flexible, and affordable working capital to take the next step in their growth journey.

It is ideal for entrepreneurs who need reliable financing to expand operations, manage stock levels, cover supplier payments, pay employees, or handle unforeseen expenses without disrupting cash flow. By offering an 8-week repayment period, the Inua Biashara Loan strikes a balance between flexibility and discipline, ensuring that SMEs can generate income while comfortably managing repayments.

Borrowers can access up to KES 200,000, fully collateral-free, making it a convenient option for entrepreneurs who may not have formal assets to secure loans. Once approved, funds are disbursed instantly via M-Pesa, allowing business owners to address urgent financial needs within minutes.

Beyond providing short-term relief, the Inua Biashara Loan plays a critical role in building a credible financial history for SMEs with Kechita Capital. Successful repayment not only enhances an entrepreneur’s credit profile but also opens doors to larger financing options such as the Jenga Biashara Loan, designed for long-term expansion and sustainable growth.

This loan product is therefore more than just quick financing—it is a strategic stepping stone for ambitious entrepreneurs who want to stabilize, expand, and eventually scale their businesses to higher levels of success.
