Abstract
Fledgling businesses in Francophone West Africa need nothing so much as access to financing in order to grow and thrive. Their problem in many cases is twofold: finding a knowledgeable, affordable source while wading into unfamiliar loan and credit processes. Local banking procedures might be opaque or strewn with red tape, while accountability and collateral demands create new headaches for managers struggling under their day-today workload.
