Microfinance institution U&I is the newest addition to the Lendahand portfolio and focuses on empowering many underserved groups, such as female entrepreneurs, by offering them much-needed loans.
The new license has arrived! Lendahand is the first Dutch crowdfunding platform to receive the new European Crowdfunding Service Provider license from the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM).
Last year, Lendahand received a grant to help finance more women-owned SMEs. How are we doing so far?
The newest addition on Lendahand is Café Perú, a corporation that helps rural smallholder coffee farmers in Peru grow and better their working and living conditions.
Getting a business loan can be a long and complex process for SME entrepreneurs. Validus, the newest company raising funds on Lendahand, changes that narrative with their digital lending platform.
Today we are pleased to announce that we have acquired the French social impact microcredit crowdfunding platform Babyloan.
Lendahand is pleased to announce the ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund (AA SIF) is acquiring a stake in our crowdfunding platform.
Mongolia is back on the Lendahand map, with InvesCore joining our platform. It’s been a while since Lendahand offered investment opportunities to support SME entrepreneurs in the country.
The newest addition to Lendahand is microfinance institution FACES, an NGO set up in 1991 to support small entrepreneurs with microloans. The non-profit MFI mainly serves women, making up 54% of their client base, and operates for 57% of their portfolio in rural areas.
Amazing news! For the third time, Lendahand has been awarded the Crowdfunding Platform of the Year.
Two is better than one, and after recently welcoming our first microfinance institution in Kyrgyzstan on Lendahand, we’re now excited to soon launch projects with a second MFI in the region: Bailyk. With Bailyk, we will double the impact our crowd can make in Kyrgyzstan.
