I wish to utilise NDB’s “Kisim na Bekim Bisnis Loan” as it’s quite attractive for someone like me who’s interested in starting a trade store business.

Your advice please.

Hi,
Firstly, Thank you NDB for letting us know that there is a NDB branch in Banz, Jiwaka Province.
I have a trade store business in Tabibuga, Jimi District, Jiwaka Province and I am looking at getting additional loan to increase operations and venture into other opportunities that I see present here at home, especially in coffee buying.
Now my problem would be to get a loan from NDB to help me purchase a motor vehicle to help me transport my coffee bags to the nearest factories in town and I am wondering if there is such service at NDB to allow small business owners to do that.
I will definitely walk into your NDB branch in Banz and discuss with the staff there, but can you give me some heads up on what to bring with me, especially the needed documents etc so I can be prepared in advance before meeting your staff.
Thanks and I look forward to hear from you soon.

Hello
My wife had started from street sales activities and went to the extreme of distributing palmal cigarettes and flex cards in the PNG LNG pipe line project from Kikori to Moro. She is now intending to buy a bus or a Troop carrier (10 seater) for ferrying passengers from Kikori to Mt Hagen. She now have K50,000 and needs a further K50,000 achieve her dreams. Will you give her some useful advices on how she would go about securing the loan and how it can be repayed. Worse still, she doesn’t have a IPA certificate that may probably disqualify her from getting the loan?
Hi
I would suggest that your wife goes into the nearest NDB branch and asks to see someone who can help her with a Women In Business Loan application.
Thanks
