Abstract
The charging of interest on loans to small businesses is condemned under Islam, but in many Muslim countries alternative financing schemes have arisen. Musharaka is a form of partnership financing not very far in principle from venture capital, and it has been used in the Sudan to finance small businesses and even microenterprises.
