As the National Development Foundation of Dominica (NDFD) celebrates its 40th anniversary, it has also activated a limited-time promotion to extend a helping hand to the small business community which the Foundation has cared for since its founding in 1981.
With the recently launched “4 for You Pandemic Relief Loans Promotion”, the NDFD unveils a special loan package for all interested small business owners whose businesses have undoubtedly been heavily impacted by this ongoing pandemic.
Fighting Covid Business Loan – Get a loan now, start paying in 2022
This business loan is primarily targeted at small business owners who would like to do the following:
- purchase personal protective equipment (PPEs) and sanitization equipment,
- restart their business places with purchase of stock or supplies,
- pay outstanding rent and other debts caused by the pandemic-induced shutdowns
- to fulfill other related purposes.
A three-month grace period is offered to those who qualify for this loan.
A “Pandemic Shield” is another benefit offered by this business loan promotion that protects the entrepreneur from the negative impact in the event of a month-long or more prolonged national shutdown. The NDFD offers full grace on both the principal and the interest if such a shutdown occurs.
Continuous support for sustainable development despite the pandemic
Given its more recent focus on enabling Green entrepreneurship and sustainable development, the NDFD has also rolled out a special lending promotion targeted at those aspiring green entrepreneurs.
Green Loan – Go Green! Get special interest rates!
Businesses and individuals seeking to improve efficiency and increase productivity using Green solutions can now obtain a Green Loan from the NDFD with special interest rates. The loan can also fund innovation using renewable and energy-efficient technologies for business or home.
Green Loan business clients can also get up to 3 months grace.
4 for You!
The “4 for You Pandemic Relief Loans Promotion” is NDFD’s fourth-quarter promotion composed of four loan products with limited-time special offers, including Business Loan, Consolidation Loan, Green Loan, and Ready Cash Loan.
Each “4 for You Pandemic Relief Loans Promotion” loan product offers critical benefits to the client. The other two special loan promotions are intended for all the frontline workers in the country whom the NDFD has supported since the beginning and for all the Foundation’s existing Ready Cash clients who are primarily young professionals who would need some financial assistance every now and then.
Frontline Workers Consolidation Loan – Up to $20K for frontline workers and other benefits
The NDFD is offering all of the country’s frontline workers a special consolidation loan package. Under this promotion, our hardworking frontline workers, including doctors, fire officers, police officers, nurses, and other medical personnel can apply for up to a $20,000 loan with 60% of it for consolidating their existing debts. The rest of the loaned amount can be used for their personal or domestic expenses to improve the quality of life and their financial situation while they continue to answer the call of duty during this pandemic.
Ready Cash Loan – Refinance after only six months!
Under this Ready Cash promotion, the NDFD’s existing Ready Cash clients can now refinance their existing loans after only six months. That means no more waiting for the clients and obtaining the cash they need to cover all their pressing needs during this pandemic.
This “4 for You Pandemic Relief Loans Promotion” will end on 31st December 2021.
