why small and growing businesses?
SGBs often lack access to sufficient, appropriately structured growth capital, despite their importance in driving job creation and entrepreneurial activity in emerging markets. When SGBs in the informal economy are considered, the total credit gap is estimated between $2.1 - $2.6 trillion.
MCE’s Small and Growing Business (SGB) Portfolio addresses this market gap by serving SGBs in the “missing middle”—those that are too big for microfinance, yet too small for commercial lending. With a focus on investing in women and the environment, our SGB portfolio provides catalytic and flexible debt capital to SGBs in agriculture and other sectors. Our portfolio companies create economic opportunities in rural economies, raise small-holder farmers’ incomes, and facilitate access to basic needs in underserved areas.
MCE is committed to ongoing partnership with these enterprises as they grow and scale to better serve their customers, their employees, and their communities, generating sustainable and inclusive economic growth that supports a thriving environment.
As of June 2026, our SGB portfolio consisted of $6 million outstanding in 9 SGBs operating across 6 countries.
