First, thanks for invitation.

As cited in Aftab and Naveed , 2013 ,( Role of Microfinance Institutions in Entrepreneurship Development) , Entrepreneurship is one of the commonly terms used in business, management, economics and other related fields. Entrepreneurship means innovation, creativity, leadership, profit maximization or start of a new business, it helps in the process to increase economic growth, employment generation, increase national income and also creating innovation . On the other hand, Microfinance purpose is to save people from the local moneylenders who charge high interest rates and also to establish income generating activity for them and the research project launched to provide microcredit and banking services to the those people. In addition, microcredit programs are based on unique mechanism such as group lending, social collateral and distinctive payment methods. It isn’t based on checking credit history, income sources and bank balances but works on character based lending and thus managed to give loans to those who lacking credit histories. Therefore, Microfinance and entrepreneurship help as a combine tool to contribute in development and also measure the level of satisfaction of microfinance institutions clients toward their respective banks considering primary source of data at district level.
