Direct Microfinancing Solutions

DTSpark offers bespoke, direct microfinancing solutions to investors by introducing them to borrowers that meet the investor criterion. The company is the conduit between the investor and the borrower, managing all the financial transactions between the parties.

The microfinance company was established to further support the development and upliftment of the underprivileged through the microfinancing of small businesses.

DTSPark, in cooperation with DTCare South Africa, helps ensure ESG targets specified by each investor or investment group are met. DTSpark's borrower portfolio is limited to individuals and collectives which have a direct influence on the arts, environment (including agriculture and livestock), social justice, female empowerment, and youth employment. DTSpark similarly limits its scope of investors to individuals or collectives who understand that the intended effects of the microloans must be generational. Investors should know that ROI (Return on Investment) will be calculated in years, not months. However, if the investor wants to make a direct social impact, DTSpark is the ideal platform to consider.
