ShoreBank's international consulting practice helps banks and microcredit entities in transitional economies build their capacity to support small businesses and real estate.  ShoreBank helps its client banks design loan programs, create operating procedures, hire staff, and monitor loan quality and repayment.

ShoreBank recently created prograns to financially support banks that make loans to micro- or small businesses, primarily in Africa and Asia.  Micro and small companies are of enormous importance in combating poverty, building wealth and catalyzing economic development in transitional economies, but few banks are willing to lend to them.

Institutions receiving support will also have access to capacity building services through ShoreCap Exchange, such as micro-and small business lending and risk management.
