54.6% of Mauritian employment is under  SMEs and they contribute to around 40% of the Gross Domestic Product according to a 2019 handbook by the Ministry of Industrial Development, SMEs and Cooperative. SMEs have for a long time been the backbone of the local economy and their importance is only going to increase. They constantly demand funding to sail smoothly throughout the year and business loans have become essential.

Who offers SME Loans in Mauritius?

The most picked option when it comes to loans are the more traditional institutions such as banks and leasing companies (depending on the demand). These institutions each have their own criteria and requirements, often asking for collateral, which makes it harder for SMEs to obtain these loans when needed.

A viable alternative

Fundkiss is here to fill this funding gap and offer more options to local SMEs wanting to avail of a loan. Our SME Digital Financing Platform connects investors looking for a new asset class to boost their savings and SMEs needing financing to grow. Since the whole process is digital, it enables SMEs to save time and obtain their required funding quickly.
