FNB: SME Portfolio

FNB’s SME division caters for SMEs with a yearly turnover of 3-10 Mio N$. Within its SME portfolio, FNB offers the following products to start-ups and SMEs requiring financing for growth and expanding operations:

  • Term Loans: a loan that is repaid in regular payments over a specified period of time. Collateral requirements apply.
  • Asset-based Finance: this loan product aims to finance vehicles, machinery and other equipment. The asset that is bought (i.e. car, machine, etc.) also serves as the security (or collateral) for the loan.
  • Overdraft Facilities: An overdraft is a short-term loan arrangement, where your account limit gets extended up to an agreed amount. It’s the most common type of business loan.
  • Contract & Tender Financing: a loan to provide the necessary financing to deliver a secured Government or Private Sector Contract (Tender).

FNB also offers training and mentoring in cooperation with SME Compete
