Why Apply for a Microloan?

Microloans are geared towards helping new and small businesses, so the requirements are more flexible. At NADF we will work with you to learn about you and your goals and will consider that information when evaluating your microloan application.

Microloans may help individuals who do not have a credit history or have a poor credit rating to improve their credit scores.

NADF submits monthly reports to the credit bureaus, so this is an opportunity to start/expand business and build your credit rating at the same time.

Business Planning Guidance and Support

Beyond financial assistance, we provide expert guidance and support to assist young entrepreneurs to develop a business plan outlining objectives, strategies, and financial projections.
