The Program

Research has shown that in developing regions, women do not regularly get the necessary business aid needed to thrive. FCMB’s SheVentures proposition was birthed from an understanding of the unique financial, cultural and capacity challenges faced by women in business in Nigeria. Knowing that women have the potential to contribute more to the nation’s development with the right support, SheVentures provides female business owners the resources they need to succeed. This includes providing access to business know-how, financing, training, mentorship and SME advisory schemes, among other supports. SheVentures was created as a value-added initiative for women-owned enterprises and is a key part of FCMB’s effort to promote financial inclusion. With a robust understanding of the Nigerian business terrain and demonstrated leadership in the SME Banking space, FCMB is well-positioned to create value for women in business by delivering exceptional services and fostering attainment of their aspirations.
