Davaarjargal’s shop in Ulaanbaatar is filled with the delightful scents of floral perfumes and sweet fragrances. Here, she produces and sells her naturally made soaps and bath salts. She also offers weekly workshops where other women can learn to make these products themselves.

Davaarjargal sources her raw materials from local nomads, providing them with a crucial source of income. Through her natural soaps and bath salts, she makes a significant contribution to her community. Thanks to financial support from InvesCore, she can purchase these materials at fair prices and expand her business. This not only benefits her but also helps the nomadic communities become more economically stable.

InvesCore’s business loans help small entrepreneurs like Davaarjargal achieve their goals. With these loans, she can grow her business, attract new customers, and improve the standard of living for herself and her suppliers.

What social return could your investment make?

InvesCore recognises the important role small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play in Mongolia's socio-economic landscape. Representing approximately 86% of all active legal entities in Mongolia, these SMEs are fundamental to job creation, poverty reduction, and community empowerment (National Statistical Office (NSO) of Mongolia, 2019). Yet, many entrepreneurs, especially women, face considerable financial barriers.

To bridge this gap, InvesCore has introduced innovative fintech services to democratise access to funding. Their automation of the traditional loan process has not only reduced 80% of manual work and potential errors but also expanded their reach. In 2021, this led to over 1,200 SME owners, of which more than 250 were female entrepreneurs, securing business loans. By investing in InvesCore, you facilitate the disbursement of loans to 13 SMEs in Mongolia.
