Beneficiaries

Our programs work with entrepreneurs and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). As defined by the World Bank, SMEs have:

  • Revenues up to $15 million (USD)

  • Up to 300 employees

  • Assets up to $15 million (USD)

These enterprises typically require between $5,000 –$1.5 million (USD) in financing. These relatively small capital injections can enable them to achieve transformative growth. We focus on those businesses with the grit, determination, and wherewithal to repay their loans and meet the market objectives defined in their business plans.

Funders

Our funding comes from donors, development finance institutions (DFIs), and investors.
