Important Considerations

Flat Interest Rate Impact

FINCA uses a flat interest rate calculation method, which means interest is calculated on the full loan amount throughout the loan term, not on the declining balance. This results in a higher effective interest rate than the stated rate.

Insurance Costs

While credit-life insurance provides valuable protection, it adds approximately 0.6% per month to your loan cost. Factor this into your total cost calculations.

Collateral Risk

Be aware that collateral can be seized if you default on loan repayments. Ensure your business cash flow can reliably support the repayment schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum loan amount I can get?

FINCA Uganda offers Enterprise Loans of up to UGX 300 million. However, the actual amount you qualify for depends on your business size, cash flow, collateral value, credit history, and repayment capacity. First-time borrowers typically start with smaller amounts, with the potential to access larger loans after establishing a good repayment history.

How long does the application process take?

The application process typically takes 3-7 business days from submission of all required documentation to loan approval. Smaller loans may be processed faster, while larger amounts may require additional verification steps. Once approved, disbursement usually occurs within 24-48 hours.

What types of collateral does FINCA accept?

FINCA accepts various forms of collateral including land titles, vehicle logbooks, business equipment, and household items of value. For smaller loans, guarantors may be accepted in place of physical collateral. The collateral value typically needs to cover at least 120-150% of the loan amount, depending on the type of asset.

Can I repay my loan early?

Yes, FINCA allows early loan repayment. However, since they use a flat interest rate calculation method, you may not benefit from significant interest savings with early repayment. There may also be an early repayment fee, typically around 2-5% of the outstanding principal. Discuss the specific terms with your loan officer before making an early repayment.

Customer Reviews & Experiences

Sarah N.
Kampala Clothing Shop Owner
Positive

"I've been with FINCA for 3 years now and have taken two Enterprise Loans to expand my clothing shop. The business advisory services were particularly helpful in improving my inventory management. The interest rate is higher than bank loans, but the quick processing and flexible collateral options made it worth it for me."

Robert K.
Mbarara Hardware Store
Mixed

"FINCA's Enterprise Loan helped me expand my hardware business, but I was surprised by the total cost when including all fees and insurance. The loan officers were transparent, but I wish I had calculated the effective interest rate better. Still, the loan enabled me to increase my stock and sales have grown by 40%."

David M.
Jinja Restaurant Owner
Positive

"What impressed me most was how FINCA's loan officers took time to understand my restaurant business before recommending a loan structure. The weekly repayment option aligned perfectly with my cash flow. I've since renovated my restaurant and added catering services, increasing my monthly revenue significantly."
