This paper aims to examine and conduct research concerning the role of microfinance on entrepreneurship and economic development. I will define characteristics of entrepreneurship, explore structures within microfinance, and seek to measure outcomes on community and economic development. I will apply survey research in the local area to investigate incentives, intentions, and various economic theories to analyse the prevalence of microloans.
