Micro was anything from 500$ to the biggest they loaned was 50K.
Does your CU allow for small loans to women?? or micro loaning? just curious. share t

Our credit union does not have loans for small businesses as we have a local Small Business Loan administration that does them. The NCUA is implementing something for women and minorities but we still do not know what (and I am not sure they have it mapped 100% yet either :-)) We will give out loans up to $35,000 unsecured for a first time.

I am SO pleased to hear of your success. I'm a LONG retired financial analyst - and I had female bosses for my entire career -almost unheard of at the time!

Congratulations!!!!!

I believe in "girl power"!!! We women can do anything a man can (well-almost) and usually better!
