The word “meta” in several languages means going beyond, to transcend, target, goal, or dream. META improves the economic well-being of immigrants, women, minorities, and other low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs and the communities in which they live. We do this by providing entrepreneurs the access to capital and other resources needed to start, strengthen, and expand businesses in Idaho. As a result, these emerging business owners, often referred to as microentrepreneurs, “go beyond” in achieving their goal of economic independence. We embrace entrepreneurship, innovation, social impact, and sustainability. These values guide our team of professionals in what we do. Much like the entrepreneur, META uses innovative strategies to constantly explore and develop new markets. Through META’s microenterprise services and financial products, many households are getting out and staying out of poverty. This has a tremendous social and economic impact on the lives of our clients and the Idaho communities in which they live.
