Using information from the Living Conditions Survey period 2005 - 2006 (ECV-Fifth Round), where the study population are households own business that applied for funding. To determine the impact of microcredit was used the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. The results for the entire sample reflected a negative and significant impact only if general and formal microcredit. Later, to evaluate the effect of microcredit in homes that are located above and below the poverty line, the results were negative but not significant in the highest income households.
