Product Manager

💸 About the Product Microlending is a system that aids small-scale business owners to improve and increase business productivity and profit margin by making funds readily available and easily accessible to these unbanked and banked business owners.

🌈 The problem

Compared to larger enterprises, SMEs in Nigeria suffer the undersupply of credit mainly because of asymmetric information, high default risk, and lack of collateral.

This problem deterred the growth of SMEs thereby leading to economic stagnation. In a bid to improve their access to finance, Capricorn developed a digital product that grants unbanked and banked small-scale business owners access to funding for their businesses.

🎯 The result

Since creating this product, there has been a 9% yearly growth for these small businesses. They are able to access funding to expand their businesses and repay their loan. This has resulted in an improved standard of living for these business owners.
