Can the poor run a successful business?
First Premier Microfinance bank is committed to ensuring that the unbanked have access to petty funds and educate them in the areas that can best bring the best out of them; Pretty much, the answer is Yes!. we believe and research have shown that many poor people have skills that can quickly become an income producing activity. With small sums of money, they are able to purchase the inventory, supplies and tools needed to start or expand microbusinesses that range from hairdressing, sewing, grinding grain, groceries shop, catching and selling fishing, wholesaling dried fish, raising chickens to sell eggs, and breeding livestock. We also help the rural poor start technology microbusinesses, such as selling cell phone MTN, ETISALAT, STARCOMMS, VISAPHONE, CELNET air card time within the community, which also provides valuable means of communications and access to vital information.
