Traditional banks often incur substantial costs in assessing loan applications, managing accounts, collecting from delinquent borrowers and so on. Their process is too large and expensive to accommodate a microfinance loan. Microfinance institutions are created specifically for the working poor and are properly equipped to handle the unique nature of smaller start-up loans.
