LendForGood is a crowdlending platform that addresses the "Missing Middle" in impact finance, helping emerging social enterprises access affordable capital to scale. Many impact enterprises struggle to raise funds after their initial start-up phase due to insufficient traction, hindering their growth. LendForGood connects these enterprises with impact investors, providing a seamless way for businesses to secure loans while offering investors access to high-impact opportunities. By bridging this gap, LendForGood supports the growth of social enterprises, empowering them to achieve their mission and create positive change globally.
