| Short description Microcredit is a financial instrument that aims to respond to the financial inclusion needs of those who have difficulty accessing traditional credit because they do not have sufficient guarantees. It is not simply a small loan, but an integrated offer of financial and non-financial services. What distinguishes microcredit from ordinary credit is the attention to the person, which translates into welcoming, listening and supporting the beneficiaries from the pre-disbursement phase to the post-disbursement phase, as well as the particular attention paid to the validity and to the sustainability of the project. The microcredit tool, in the form of “entrepreneurial microcredit”, is aimed at all those who intend to start or develop a micro-enterprise or self-employment activity and/or who have difficulty accessing bank credit. | ||||||
