What Our Clients Say

I can’t express enough my joy when I was informed by SHONA Capital team that our loan was approved. My business partner and I, were skeptical that we would be considered. I am so happy SHONA Capital believed in our business and has given us all the support we needed to sign additional clients and improve our management systems. We are now confident to negotiate with our B2B customers to reduce on receivables days.

SHONA Capital has really given me the peace of mind I hadn’t achieved in a long time by financing our business. It’s very stressful to run a business with limited capital.

I can now afford to take a weeks’ leave from business while my team is running the operations. SHONA Capital is truly beyond just the capital.

Thank you, SHONA Capital, for walking the entrepreneurship journey with me.

Working with you has been unbelievably smooth especially the appraisal process which was quite fast. Getting funding within 2 weeks was something I never thought could happen in Uganda.

With the capital acquired from SHONA Capital, I can now confidently serve my customers since I have a variety of designs.

With funding from SHONA Capital, we were able to increase our working capital. This has enabled us to approach new and prospective clients with confidence.

SHONA Capital’s management support team recommended to us QuickBooks Online, provided training, and has frequently assisted with monthly reporting. We use these monthly reports in our day-to-day decision making.
