MicrofinancE

“Up to Two Million Entrepreneurs in California can’t access the small amounts of capital they need to get their business off the ground”  (Microfinance CA)

Microfinance, an empowering anti-poverty solution well-practiced in developing countries, is gaining traction here in the U.S. and in California. The lending of small amounts of capital to prospective entrepreneurs has had a powerful and self-sustaining capacity to transform lives while offering high rates of repayment. Partnering with U.S. microfinance institutions, The Remedee Center provides microfinance services for new, innovative ideas through microloans and small business support.
