Seattle-King County Asset-Building Collaborative

Microenterprise Action Team

This team is exploring the intersections between microenterprise development and asset-building as means for increasing the economic security of low-income people. We are initially focusing efforts on increasing opportunities for small business loans under $10,000. We will work with our financial institution partners to develop appropriate products and explore the feasibility of a loan loss mitigation fund to open access to more credit in this community.
