Making Microfinance Institutions Investment-Worthy

Intellecap supports seven Tier II Microfinance Institutions (MFIs with GLP between $7.5mn – $ 25 mn) preparing themselves for commercial equity investments. Supported by the Ford Foundation, this engagement includes due diligence on MFI investment readiness, trainings on identified gaps and individual handholding of MFIs through defined action plans and supportive research.

The trainings focus on understanding MFI capital structures, the investment process and investor expectations. The Business Consulting Group collaborates with the Investment Banking Group and other microfinance investors in imparting such trainings and conducting MFI due diligences, in order to enhance the MFIs’ readiness for real life investment scenarios. The group also leverages synergies with Microfinance Development group (IntelleCash) in conducting credit due diligences, helping them access commercial debt and in working to improve operations.
