entrepreneurs INVEST IN THEIR WORK & THEIR COMMUNITIES
BIG IMPACT STARTS SMALL
Microloans are anything but small for small businesses, especially those run by members of underserved communities.
Microloans empower entrepreneurs by creating economic opportunities to build wealth without incurring a massive financial burden, thus giving them greater control over their future.
More than a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to get their businesses off the ground, microlending is a big step toward promoting equality for women in business.
Of the 33.2 million small businesses in the US, nearly 13 million of them are women-owned, generating nearly $1.8 trillion in revenue and employing almost 10 million people.
