What started out as small loans to help budding entrepreneurs in the developing world, has now blossomed into a small loan program for the domestic market. Perhaps in response to the growing need for small business entrepreneurs to get financing, organizations like Kiva who have historically provided small loans to people in the developing world, are now providing small loans to entrepreneurs at home.

With credit tightening restrictions increasing all the time, it has been almost impossible for the small business market to obtain loans, even the most small. In response, micro lenders are popping up everywhere and providing financing for all kind of enterprises.

The San Jose based Opportunity Fund recently told

Bloomberg BusinessWeek That it's set to offer 30 percent more loans this year than in 2009.

As well as loans from Credit Unions, there are other organizations that are focused on providing funding to the small business person. From authors to restaurants, money is still available for projects.

If you need a small business loan and don't qualify with traditional financial establishments, do a search on Google for organizations providing microloans in your area.

The Small Business Administration funds micro-loans across the country. The funds are administered by third parties and a borrower may loan up to $35,000. The typical loan is about $13,000.

Getting a micro-loan is not simple; as with any type of loan there are requirements that have to be fulfilled. The micro-loan program requires that borrowers, and potential borrowers, be given any technical help, including training, that they need, before and after they get a loan. So, in theory, if you need some business training, it must be provided to you.

Every state has agencies that the federal government funds to manage the loan program. To get a list of the agencies, you can find it here and read it online or download it. http://www.sba.gov/financialassistance/borrowers/guaranteed/mlp/index.html

One thing you should know is that you can not get a micro-loan to pay off debt. If you qualify it is a great program to give you the added capital that you may need, so do look into it.
