Why Ogen Lends to Small Businesses
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the Israeli economy. Businesses with fewer than twenty staff account for 93% of all companies in Israel, employing 1,049,400 people, 45% of the total workforce. These small businesses account for 34.3% of Israel’s GDP, three times more than Israel’s high-tech sector.
Despite this, small businesses struggle for bank credit. When loans are available, the terms are limited and costly.
Businesses with revenue of under ILS 2 million make up almost 90% of Israel’s economy, but receive just 13% of credit.
