Micro-credit in Brussels

Micro-credit is intended for socially-excluded individuals, or those at risk of being so (unemployed, inactive, etc.) and for micro-entrepreneurs not having access to traditional bank credit.

In Brussels, several stakeholders offer personal (loan generally below €3,000) or professional micro-credits (loan for a maximum of 15,000 Euros):

Brusoc

Brusoc is a financing instrument, which, through the creation of local and sustainable employment, specialises in the economic revival of areas located in priority intervention zones for the Brussels Capital Region (priority intervention area). As a local economy and social partner, Brusoc targets those who don't have access to classic bank financing. It offers micro-credits to self-employed people, and loans for social economy projects.

Microstart

MicroStart’s objective is to support, through micro-credit financing, entrepreneurs excluded from the classic banking system in the context of creating or developing their own business. MicroStart focuses on the dialogue with the entrepreneur, the project in question and the human approach.
