"Being lenders, we can support small investors." 5/5 What do you like best about Kiva? Through this tool, we can help small investors around the world and envision them in a financially inclusive world where all people have the power to improve their quality of life and that of their family. The steps to access this tool are as follows: The loan applicant requests the resources. The loan goes through the subscription and approval process. Finally, the loan is published on Kiva for companies to support and raise the money to lend it. Finally, they repay the loan. It would be interesting to know Kiva's solvency index to also carry out awareness campaigns so that each user who receives the loans repays them within the corresponding timeframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kiva? I wouldn't have any negative aspect to say about this very useful tool. The only thing is that there should be more advertising or promotion of this tool to help so many people in the world and benefit their environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Kiva: First of all, I would recommend generating more information so that different private companies can reach various parts of the countries to help generate income for so many micro-entrepreneurs who currently need it. Once different companies support and also take advantage of reducing their taxes, they help consolidate any start of a small entrepreneur, and this one can also become a lender in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kiva solving and how is that benefiting you? Through the contributions of companies, other people can support themselves to establish themselves as small or medium-sized enterprises, improving their quality of life and that of their families.
