How to start lending for free with Lendsqr 

A typical state lender who has about N20 million capital is targeting the working class Nigeria, targeting loan sizes of N30,000 to N150,000. Knowing they stand no chance of growing the business if they demand their borrowers come to an office, they invariably would need technology, such as a mobile or website, to reach their prospective customer base.

Knowing you need technology is one thing, being able to build and launch is another. This is usually the Waterloo for most lenders. They fall prey to sweet and fast-talking script kiddies, who know next to nothing about loans and their nuances.

That’s where Lendsqr comes in. We provide the tools and expertise to help you lend with Lendsqr and avoid the common pitfalls, so you can focus on growing your customer base and building a successful lending business.
