1. Independent Opinion
LUV Microfinance helps institutional investor to make investment decisions by closing existing information gaps by means of Independent Opinions with the objective of:
• making a capital investment
• giving an institutional loan
• analyzing a financial forecast
• evaluating the integral risk exposure of the MFI
Transparency is a key issue in microfinance in order to convince institutional financial sources, investors or donors, of the sustainability of the ongoing operations. The major challenge in this context is to close the information gap between both sides, to initiate long term relationships based on trust and control which, in most cases, is very difficult to establish because of geographical distances.
2.1 Monitoring of MFI’s Portfolio
Once a credit line, an investment or a donation, is made by an institutional investor it might be of the interest of the investor or donor to delegate certain monitor functions. LUV Microfinance offers its regular presence in the MFIs of interest in order to closely monitor your client. We offer to audit Microfinance related topics considered crucial, to assist management and board meetings, to deliver fresh and independent information on the recent evolution of MFI and on the developments of the market conditions.
3.1. Greenfields y Downscaling
LUV Microfinance carried out its first Greenfield project with Protrabajo Corp. that started operations in December 2005 and was successfully sold in June 2008 to the biggest player in the Argentinean market. Apart from the project management and the running of the daily ongoing business, the consultants were directly involved in all activities related to the MFI such as the creation of new management tools, material and staff evaluation procedures, adaptation of credit technology and products for the new market conditions, application to national and international refinancing sources, financial management, and controlling.
Based on this large experience and lessons learned in this project, LUV Microfinance’s consultants are ready to carry out your Greenfield or Downscaling in any country around the world. LUV Microfinance offers to set up a proper team to transform your plans into a successful project.
