Mikrofond's mission is to support entrepreneurs in Bulgaria by providing alternative sources of financing for start-ups and small and medium businesses which do not have access to the bank system sources of capital. Their aim is to create the first sustainable microfinancing non-banking institution in Bulgaria, because they believe that small business entrepreneurs are the engine of the economic development and have the greatest growth potential.
Their clients are all economically active people who cannot access funding for their business projects from the existing banks and other financing institutions.
