Toa maoni kwa comments.
Let us analyse
-
Interest Rate: 5.9% monthly is relatively high, kwanza for short-term loans. Over a year, ni around 70.8% annually (not compounded), ni expensive sana
-
Repayment period: 30 days ni short, meaning your business must generate profits quickly preferably within 2–3 weeks.
-
Business Risk: If the business isn't guaranteed or already generating cash flow, this loan could strain your finances.
-
Deduction Rate: If they’re deducting 30% from your business income automatically, make sure your remaining income can still cover other business obligations
Bottom Line: It’s only worth taking if:
✅ You have a clear, fast-return investment (like stock restocking or a quick-turnaround service).
✅ You’re confident your profits in 30 days will exceed KSh 5,900 plus other business costs.
✅ You can handle the deduction without compromising business essential needs.
If not, it might be better to negotiate for a longer repayment period or seek cheaper credit.
My final verdict; Only take loans when really necessary, when you can't avoid it.
Summary: Just because unaqualify haimaanishi you take the loan.
