CBS: The World Of Micro-Loans



According do Wikipedia, microlending is defined as the extension of very small loans (microloans) to those in poverty designed to spur entrepreneurship. These individuals lack collateral, steady employment and a verifiable credit history and therefore cannot meet even the most minimal qualifications to gain access to traditional credit. Microcredit is a part of microfinance, which is the provision of a wider range of financial services to the very poor.

The site mentioned in this piece is MicroPlace; check it out here.
