Ethical business loans
Quakers became active in business in the 18th and 19th centuries as they were excluded from the universities and the professions. Running successful businesses and providing employment were admired activities for Quakers who also set high standards of commercial practice. Small businesses provide much of the employment in NZ and QIET welcomes ethical business loan applications where the output contributes to society.
