The process runs through the banks: a bank forwards a project, Kafalat&#x27;s team of experts reviews the business plan, and an answer usually comes within about ten days. No collateral or personal guarantee is required once a plan is approved. Its Kafalat Innovant line targets startups under two years old and can guarantee up to 90 percent of a loan, up to 200,000 dollars. Priority sectors are industry, agriculture, tourism, crafts and new technologies. A FEMISE report said Kafalat had supported about 16,500 SME projects since 2000, and it has worked with the Ministry of Economy&#x27;s SME unit on up to 64 million euros in guarantees.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Kafalat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Beirut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Bank loan guarantees for SMEs, Kafalat Innovant for startups, credit guarantees for agriculture, industry, tourism, crafts and technology<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Through participating Lebanese banks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Lebanese loan guarantee company that helps small businesses and startups get bank credit without collateral.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Kafalat at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Supported about 16,500 SME projects since 2000<\/li>\n<li>Kafalat Innovant guarantees up to 90 percent of startup loans<\/li>\n<li>No collateral or personal guarantee required<\/li>\n<li>Shareholders include 40 Lebanese companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How do I apply for a Kafalat guarantee?<\/h3>\n<p>Through a Lebanese bank, which forwards your project and business plan to Kafalat for review.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Kafalat lend money directly?<\/h3>\n<p>No. It guarantees loans that banks make to small businesses and startups.<\/p>\n<h3>Which sectors does Kafalat support?<\/h3>\n<p>Its priority sectors are industry, agriculture, tourism, crafts and new technologies.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources and further reading<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sources\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/?p=13868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEMISE Seminar: Kafalat facilitates access to credit for Lebanese SMEs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/economy.gov.lb\/en\/services\/-support-to-smes-\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support to SMEs, About Us (Ministry of Economy and Trade)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lebanese loan guarantee company that helps small businesses and startups get bank credit without collateral.
