Microcredit is a type of alternative financing for those who do not have access to financing because they have been socially or financially excluded. Collateral is not often required, so microfinance institutions try to build trust with the borrower in order to have confidence that the loan will be repaid. Often entrepreneurs will participate in training or one on one tutoring to build this trust and to give the microfinance institution an opportunity to know you and your business plan.
