NCBA and HEVA Fund have launched a Ksh20 million financing facility for Kenya’s creative industry, offering loans at a concessional 9% interest rate.
The fund targets artists and creative businesses seeking capital for equipment purchases, working capital, events and expansion.
The partnership combines NCBA’s lending capacity with HEVA’s expertise in creative-sector financing. Eligible businesses can access funding linked to confirmed contracts, orders and events, with flexible repayment options tailored to irregular creative income cycles.
Beyond credit, beneficiaries will receive financial literacy training, mentorship and business development support aimed at improving sustainability and growth.
