What we do

Working capital loans

From KES 5,000 upwards, priced fairly and repaid on a schedule that follows your cash cycle — not a rigid bank calendar.

Business education

Practical training on record keeping, stock planning and borrowing wisely, delivered in person and online.

No asset grabbing

If a customer payment is late, we restructure. We do not seize the vehicle, the stock or the shop.

80% of Kenya's workforce is informal.

Millions of entrepreneurs are excluded from formal credit. Their alternative is friends, family, or predatory lenders charging excessive interest and seizing collateral at the first missed payment. That is the gap Pesa Pot exists to close.

How we started

Who we lend to

  • Kiosk and duka owners managing daily stock cycles
  • Suppliers waiting 45–90 days on customer invoices
