Microloans

Summary

Microloans are small loans provided to individuals or small businesses that lack access to traditional banking services.

Detailed Description

Microloans typically range from $100 to $50,000 and are designed to help underserved populations—including low-income entrepreneurs—gain access to financing to start or expand a business. These loans often have less stringent credit requirements compared to conventional loans, making them accessible to individuals who may not qualify for traditional financing. Microloans are often accompanied by support services, such as business education and financial training, to increase the chances of loan repayment and business success.
