Shot in the arm for city businesswomen

A MICROFINANCE company, Nissi Finance, has launched a fund to assist businesswomen in Bulawayo, who find it difficult to access loans from banks because they cannot provide collateral.

Report by the Bureau Chief

In an interview yesterday, Nissi Finance public relations officer and former Miss Zimbabwe Lorraine Maphala, said the scheme — which offers finance to the tune of $300 000 — was started at the beginning of this month in Bulawayo, but was likely to spread to other areas next year.
