Those institutions charge Small Businesses much more than Banks. We help them to get better rates in Chile and Perú. Latin America’s high-volume markets include Chile, Mexico, and Brazil.
Investors of redcapital.cl & redcapital.pe: Investors are Individuals, family office or institutional investor (funds). This year, 46% of investments on RedCapital are from institutional investors (funds).
Problem or Opportunity
Small businesses have a little credit line on banks. So, they have higher rates in other financial institutions. SMEs in Latin America struggle to grow because accessing credit continues to be a highly formalized and bureaucratic process. There is an SME credit gap of $250B in Latin America with two million SMEs reported as being un-served or underserved. The average interest rate charged by banks to SMEs is generally higher to countries in Latin America in comparison to other regions such as the U.S.
