The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) in collaboration with Chaste Mutual Investment Limited are in partnership to provide members of the Association of Vocational and Skilled Artisans of Nigeria ( ASVAN) with business loans and grants from #1,000,000(One Million Naira) and above.
Beneficiaries are expected to undergo an online registration and e-learning training which is the first phase of the program. The cost of the e-learning training costs #15,000 but ASVAN members are not expected to pay for it, as arrangement has been made for the training costs to be deducted from the approved loan when payment is made to beneficiaries. Example, if a member is given a #2,000,000 loan access, he will be credited with #1,985,000 as #15,000 will be deducted from his grant to cover the initial training costs.
