SME Finance & Advisory Programme

Finance paired with technical assistance for Somali small and growing businesses.

The initiative

Somalia’s small and growing businesses are its engine of jobs, but they lack both capital and capability. Isnaad’s SME programme pairs the two: financing on ethical, interest-free terms, alongside the advisory support that helps a business use it well.

Approach

  • Working-capital and growth finance for viable SMEs
  • Hands-on advisory, governance, financial management, and record-keeping
  • Credit histories built as businesses borrow and repay
  • Disbursement and repayment tracked on accountable rails

Status

Launching in Mogadishu first, then extending across Somalia as the facility grows.
