Inicjatywa Mikro is a microfinance organization, established in 1996 with the help of Opportunity International to support enterprise development and job creation in Southern Poland. To realize this goal, Inicjatywa Mikro enables access to capital to very small companies which do not qualify for a bank credit. The main reasons of unbankability are: a lack of adequate collateral, a relatively short period of operation or use of a simplified bookkeeping system.
