Small and Medium Scale Business constitute the majority of businesses run by Tanzanians. Their business cycles, and consequently their business financing needs, vary depending on their industrial circumstances.

At CRDB Bank we try to understand the individual needs of the SME's we serve. To do so we have dedicated competent staff, so we can understand not only the financial needs of our business customers by more importantly their unique business challenges.

For the next few years, our experts will be re-studying the SME segment of our business. They will run a Pilot Project at the Bank's Mwanza and Vijana branches. This is expected to give general picture of our customer's business requirements. We will then develop our operating systems and our staff's knowledge and skills so as to make them responsive to your unique business needs.

After the study, we will work with you to make your business a success.

During the pilot period, Mwanza and Vijana branches will offer the following services:

1. Business Advice
2. Loans

The above services will be available to companies with the following attributes:

1. They must be companies, cooperative unions/societies, institutions, sole proprietorships or partnerships that have a registered business name and business license

2. Must have a registered business name and business license

3. Must have a Memorandum and Articles of Association or a registered trusteeship

4. Must have a business turnover of Tshs. 500 million or have the potential for borrowing Tshs. 30 millions or above.
