Forest-based small-scale enterprises for the purposes of this publication include enterprises whose economic activities are undertaken mainly at the individual or household level, usually employing members of the family or close relatives and neighbours, and where salaried labour is negligible. These are the forest enterprises that are most likely to face difficulties in accessing microfinance services, and would be the primary customers of microfinance, although larger enterprises may share similar constraints and needs.
