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
  • Food vendors, tailors, salons and boda operators
  • Women and youth-led businesses — 68% of our book

How lending works

Our field officers work directly with business owners in the markets and estates we serve. They assess the business, prepare the loan request and stay with the customer through repayment.
