Business modelBusiness modelThe Business Model on which most of

the Microfinance works is SOLIDARITY LENDING.

Solidarity lending is a lending practice where small groups borrow collectively and group members encourage one another to repay.

Solidarity lending lowers the costs to a financial institution related to assessing, managing and collecting loans, and can eliminate the need for collateral.
