Over ₦200 Billion in MSME Funding Goes Untapped Every Year — Here’s Why

Every year, over ₦200 billion in grants, soft loans, and intervention funds are earmarked for Nigerian MSMEs — yet millions of businesses miss out.

Why? The biggest barriers are not lack of ideas or passion — but lack of structure, poor documentation, and limited awareness.

From youth enterprise schemes to government intervention funds, there are dozens of non-interest, ethically structured opportunities available to Nigerian businesses — but most entrepreneurs don’t know how to find or access them.

At CREF Advisory Services Limited, we help MSMEs become funding-ready. That means:

  • Structuring your business the right way
  • Organizing your financials and documentation
  • Writing compelling grant or funding proposals
  • Matching you to suitable opportunities
  • Providing post-funding support and governance

If you’re running your business ethically — we’re here to help you grow it sustainably.

Don't leave money on the table. Let’s get your business ready to attract it.
