About Grofin

Grofin is a specialist SME development and finance provider in Africa and the Middle East.

Since SMEs are generally overlooked by large mainstream banks and lenders there is no way for these deserving and commercially viable businesses to develop and maintain growth and this is where Grofin steps in.

Begin your loan application today

The first step to accessing business finance is to fill in a loan application online on the Grofin website. Once they have received this application they will evaluate it and assign a manager to your case whose job it will be to guide you through the application and ensure your business plan is optimised for success and loan approval.

Know where your financial boundaries lie

As much as you might want your business venture to take off as quickly as possible. It will not help you or your organisation if your enterprise is not financially stable to take a business loan. This means you need to be certain about your credit capacity.

The last thing you want is to give your business a negative name by failing to adhere to the financial obligations you agreed to when you first applied for credit. There is no telling when you might need a loan again in the future so you need to do all that you can to ensure that you protect your credit profile.

If your business loan application was successful

They don’t make their customers too long before they notify them about the status of their business loans. It usually takes them a few hours to get back on their applications. They know that clients usually want to make use of the money right away and that is why they don’t take too long to give them a response.
