About
We are SANAD
We finance MSMEs and low-income households, fostering economic development and job creation.
With every investment, we aim to decrease the financing gap for underserved segments of the market, with a particular focus on addressing the barriers to finance for young and female entrepreneurs, and people in rural communities.
We achieve this by partnering with eligible financial institutions and non-financial institutions to provide debt and equity funding to a diverse array of businesses.
