2) Business plan: You must submit a good business plan. It is very important. If your business idea is ‘soap production’, you can Google the term “business plan for soap production” to get an idea on how to prepare a good business plan.

3) NYSC Certificate: You must present your NYSC certificate as collateral. Your Certificate will be returned to you whenever you pay back the loan.

4) You must be between the age of 18 and 35 years.
