The Booster Micro Credit Loan is small-ticket financing for micro-entrepreneurs, the kind of loan that buys a sewing machine, a fridge for the snack, tools or a first stock. It is disbursed through the Development Bank of Mauritius.

This is a loan, not a grant. It can finance up to 100% of your project with a maximum of Rs 150,000, and the interest is floating at the Repo Rate plus 3% a year, so your rate moves with the Bank of Mauritius repo rate.

It is open to micro and small entrepreneurs holding a Business Registration Card with a viable project, and to working-capital requests recommended by the NEF, NWEC or SMEDA.

Apply through the DBM with your Business Registration Card and a simple costing of what you need. Keep the request realistic against what the business can repay monthly.

Watch out for this
