Counted from each lender's own website: a lender is listed when it describes microloans on a page we read and is headquartered in Wisconsin or names Wisconsin, or a county or town in it, as its service area. 12 other verified lenders that serve Wisconsin did not mention microloans on the pages we read, and 5 lenders headquartered here have no verified data yet. Not mentioned does not mean not offered. A listing is not an offer: ask the lender.
