Qredits Bonaire is celebrating five years at its current location and will move to the ‘Next Level’ in 2024.
We are here to help all entrepreneurs
Kralendijk, April 29, 2020 – Qredits is a social lender for entrepreneurs. Especially in these times, when entrepreneurs are struggling due to the COVID-19 crisis, it continues to support its clients. In addition to providing financial support, such as deferring repayments at just 2% interest, Qredits is also innovating. It offers crisis coaching, webinars, and starting today, clients have the opportunity to digitally sign loan agreements.
In recent weeks, a system for the digital signing of financing documents has been developed. This initiative was given higher priority due to the COVID-19 crisis and the accompanying measures. As of today, it is possible to digitally sign loan agreements from home. "Especially in these times, when the island is so severely affected by the measures brought about by the coronavirus, we want to remain visible as a social lender to support entrepreneurs. We have mobilized extra people to implement this digital signing system in the Caribbean," said Elwin Groenevelt, CEO of Qredits.
"In this way, we can support entrepreneurs without physical contact," he added.
Since its launch on the islands, Qredits has also been offering free coaching to its clients. These professionals or experienced entrepreneurs are involved with Qredits on a voluntary basis. As independent coaches, they can help entrepreneurs by brainstorming solutions to the challenges they are facing. Currently, these coaches are also available for crisis coaching. If you are a professional or an entrepreneur who would like to become a Qredits Coach to support the development of Qredits' clients, please get in touch with us.
Starting next week, Qredits' office on Curaçao will be offering a series of webinars to entrepreneurs with a loan from Qredits. These online seminars will cover various topics that are currently relevant, such as how to deal with setbacks or how to keep financially afloat. In this way, Qredits aims to support its entrepreneurs through the crisis. These webinars will be made available to all Qredits clients in the coming period and will also be accessible in Aruba, Bonaire, and the SSS islands.
