Microfinance is a financial service that many financial institutions provide to an individual or a group of individuals who get excluded from traditional banking services. Many microfinance bodies offer small portions of working capital loans as credits. There are many microfinance institutions providing individuals with direct money transfers, insurances and savings accounts. The major focus of these institutions is to provide financial services to women and the poor in rural areas so that they can grow their businesses. Microfinance can help small businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals by providing savings accounts with zero minimum balance and insurance at lower rates and premium.
The major feature of the lines of credit and loans under microfinance is that collateral is rarely required. Many microfinance institutions offer collateral-free financial services to businesses and individuals. Generally, the borrowers in microfinance are small businesses or individuals with low income. The purpose is to provide financial assistance to people who do not have access to easy banking solutions and small businessmen or entrepreneurs. Sometimes in rural areas, due to lack of source of income, small businesses compromise with their basic requirements. This can directly affect the profits and revenue. Microfinancing institutions are responsible for providing financial services to businesses and entrepreneurs to remove poverty. By providing support to the lower sections and underdeveloped parts of the society.
