Microlender
A person or bank that makes loans in small amounts. In the developing world, microlenders often make loans of only a few dollars to facilitate the start of small businesses. In this case, the interest can be a flat fee that does not compound. In the developed world, microlenders make loans of $5,000 to $25,000 and charge higher interest rates than they would for larger loans.
