GSB Capital 27
This is Dolgorsuren. She runs a small shop in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where she sells car parts, accessories, and lubricants. Thanks to a loan from GSB Capital, she was able to expand her product range, increase her income, and provide more financial security for her family.

The project
Dolgorsuren is a dedicated entrepreneur. In her shop, she sells everything for cars, from motor oil to brake fluid. Like many small business owners in Mongolia, she found it difficult to access financing to grow her business. With a loan from GSB Capital, she was able to purchase additional stock and expand her assortment. As a result, she attracted more customers and increased her sales.
“The loan has truly made a difference in my life,” says Dolgorsuren. “I used to work almost around the clock to keep my business running, but now I can plan better and spend more time with my family. I really value that.”
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of Mongolia’s economy. Yet many entrepreneurs struggle to access affordable financing. Banks often require significant collateral, and in remote areas, financial services are scarce, limiting opportunities for growth.
GSB Capital is changing that. The financial institution provides growth financing to entrepreneurs across Mongolia, with a special focus on regions where access to financial services is limited. Through its local branches and online platform, entrepreneurs gain the resources they need to further develop their businesses.

Impact
In Mongolia, small and medium-sized enterprises face significant challenges due to stringent banking requirements and a need for more government support. This makes it difficult for entrepreneurs to grow and create jobs. At the same time, the country struggles with severe air pollution, particularly in Ulaanbaatar, where over 200,000 households burn coal to heat their homes. According to a 2019 study by the Asian Development Bank, approximately 80% of the air pollution in the capital is due to this practice.
GSB Capital addresses these issues holistically. On one hand, it offers fast business loans to underserved SME entrepreneurs, enabling them to grow and contribute to the local economy. On the other hand, GSB Capital invests in a green loan program that promotes environmentally friendly heating alternatives, reducing reliance on coal and improving air quality. These initiatives not only foster economic growth but also make a significant contribution to a cleaner environment.
