The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) has reopened its Conditional Grant Scheme, offering a one-off N50,000 grant to qualified nano and micro enterprises. This initiative aims to provide financial support to small businesses that struggle to secure traditional loans, with the grant designed to bolster daily operations, promote growth, and enhance workforce capacity. Beneficiaries must employ at least one additional worker to qualify for the funding, which does not require repayment if conditions are met. The grant can be utilized for various business-related expenses, including equipment purchases, working capital, and technology improvements. SMEDAN emphasizes that this scheme is distinct from the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme, although both offer similar financial support. Interested business owners must provide specific personal and business details during the application process to access the grant.
