Gatsby Micro Finance Limited (GMFL)

In 1994, Uganda Gatsby Trust, a non-governmental organization started working with SME's in the so-called missing middle.

Our mission is to provide affordable financial services to existing Small and Medium Enterprises to enhance their growth.

The broad objective of GMFL is to enable Small and Medium entrepreneurs access credit and acquire technology for their growth. For specific objectives click here.

GMFL therefore targets Small and Medium scale Entrepreneurs in need of either working capital or machinery to assist them in the development of their technological base and enable them to grow.

SME's have prospects to grow into medium or large scale enterprises but lack business development skills and access to financial support for investment. Uganda Gatsby Trust provides SME's with both Business development services and credit services by directly lending to the enterprises. This scheme, which was reviewed by a consultant and thus transformed into Gatsby Micro Finance Limited, has grown rapidly to cover 20 districts.
