Low Income Community Loan

The target group here is enterprising persons that reside in marginalized communities who either have good jobs outside the communities or do legitimate business within the communities such as shop-keepers and other enterprise.
Because of the volatile nature of these communities bailifing is not an option. However collection can be effected when borrowers become delinquent, usually by threat of reference to the Residence Magistrate Court as a claim on ALL the borrower and guarantors.
