On the other hand, in the vast majority of scenarios, banks allocate smaller amounts for working capital and more substantial sums for infrastructure investments, such as purchasing equipment and renovations.
What are the main attractions of microcredit?
Even with more limited amounts, microcredit stands out due to its lower interest rates and less bureaucracy for obtaining it. Several institutions already offer this type of loan, including BNDES, Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Bradesco, and Itaú.
Given this reality, both the number of installments and the documents required for credit assessment vary according to the chosen bank. However, some frequently requested documents are: CPF, RG, and proof of address. Additionally, the applicant must specify the purpose of the loan.
