based on their individual financial needs and conditions,
making it an attractive option for savvy investors and entrepreneurs.
3. Selectable Repayment Methods:
Borrowers also have the choice between two repayment methods:
‘principal deferment repayment,’ where only interest is paid with

and interest repayment.’

that suits their cash flow situation.
