Microstart provides micro-loans (up to 15.000 Euros) to persons in order to start their own business activity. Among the functions of micro-credit experiences, there is also the support for starting up. Although this is not a specific policy, this approach applies very well to persons with migrant background, which are often considered as being “not bankable”.
