Kredietunie Haarlemmermeer en Omstreken is a cooperative founded and run "for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs" in the Haarlemmermeer region and its surroundings. Its mission is to stimulate local business by providing an alternative source of financing for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that may struggle to secure traditional bank loans. The model involves experienced entrepreneurs who become members of the cooperative, pooling their capital and expertise to provide loans (typically up to €250,000) and valuable coaching to borrowing entrepreneurs, fostering a supportive local business network.
