To start-up a new business, the entrepreneur has to arrange immediate finance besides facing many other business challenges. There are or could be instances when banks or NBFCs hesitate to finance first-time business owners due to lack of experience, income stability, repayment history or trust with lender. To overcome such a situation, the Tamil Nadu Government has introduced a loan scheme for small businesses. The scheme is introduced under the title UYEGP (Unemployed Youth Employment Generation Programme) to encourage unemployed youth to start-up their own business.
