Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A vetted marketplace platform that connects borrowers with professional co-signers who charge a fee for the service under strict legal contracts.
  2. A community-based credit union program that offers micro-loans with peer-guarantor structures instead of traditional individual co-signers.
  3. A financial advisory service that helps individuals with no co-signer options build alternative credit profiles to qualify for loans independently.
