Borrower's quote
I have an auto repair shop where I have been providing car repair services for 3 years. I like my work, as it brings me only pleasure and profit. Now I would like to expand my activities. For the amount of the loan, I am going to buy an old car, repair it and sell it at a profitable price. I believe that MicroWorld's lenders will give me this opportunity. I thank you in advance for your support.

Rates and transparency
- This loan does not pay any interest to the lender.
- Following your loan commitment, you have 7 calendar days to assert your right of withdrawal, by mail at contact@microworld.org.
- The MFI will reimburse the lender in case of default of the entrepreneur but there is no guarantee or insurance given by the MFI.
- 100% of the money collected is sent to the MFI, even if the project is not fully funded on the site.
- The MFI then makes a loan to the micro-entrepreneur and charges an interest rate in order to cover its operational and financial costs.
- The beneficiaries have been well informed about the risks of over-indebtedness and the consequences of payment default.
- The platform earns a commission from the MFI for the service it provides, which helps to fund its running costs.
- More effective than a simple donation, micro-credit promotes long-term sustainable economic development rather than short term help.
