Empowering Small Businesses Through Funding & Mentorship

At the heart of every community lies a spirit of giving and togetherness. We invite you to join us in making a difference, one step at a time, as we strive to build a brighter future for all.

Who we are

At The Cherry Tree Trust, we believe small and micro-businesses are the backbone of economic growth in Barbados. Since 2011, our privately funded charity has provided unsecured, low-interest loans and dedicated mentorship to help entrepreneurs start, grow, and sustain their businesses.

We are not just a funding source, we are a partner in your journey.

About Us

What we do

Cherry Tree Lending

Many entrepreneurs face rejection from traditional banks due to a lack of collateral or business history. We remove those barriers by offering affordable, unsecured loans to qualified small business owners.

Mentorship That Drives Success

Every beneficiary is matched with an experienced mentor from day one, offering strategic advice, industry insights, and valuable connections to help businesses thrive.
