Lioness Playbook Series / Get Your Business Funding Ready

Your journey to getting your business funding ready starts here

Dear Lioness,

Talk to most woman entrepreneurs and they will say that getting access to funding is a real game-changer for business growth. It means they can take control of the future trajectory of their business and fulfill its potential. Yet, applying for funding support from a bank can be a daunting process for many women entrepreneurs. But it doesn’t have to be!

With the right funding support and advice, women entrepreneurs are empowered to confidently make important strategic decisions, expand their businesses into new markets, and invest in growth opportunities. Bank loans can provide the capital needed to purchase specialist equipment, increase inventory, and hire new talent to drive business growth.

As woman entrepreneurs in the Lionesses of Africa community, it’s time to work smartly and get your businesses funding ready. Accessing funding and support when you need it from your bank will help you grow your business and fulfill its potential, and in the process help to advance women's economic empowerment.

So, where to start? Use this Playbook as your guide. It will help you to focus on important information that needs to be prepared, steps to be taken, conversations to be initiated. Gain insights and advice from some of your fellow Lionesses who have already walked the journey to getting funding ready.
