Results Based Financing

Smart funding for lasting change

About

Our Results-Based Financing (RBF) model redefines how impact is achieved. By tying funding to specific, measurable outcomes, we ensure every dollar drives accountability and measurable success. Payments are made only after verified results, creating a win-win for both investors and changemakers.

Through this model, we empower local networks – Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to boost their earnings and expand their sales. We identify and back entrepreneurs who have proven their ability to thrive in challenging environments.

We’re breaking barriers for last-mile entrepreneurs

Most results-based financing programs cater to large, established companies. But what about the small, resilient entrepreneurs driving change in underserved communities?

Our pilot program fills this gap, focusing on empowering last-mile entrepreneurs with the resources, support, and opportunities they need.

Efficiency:

Achieving more with fewer resources.

Impact:

Empowering last-mile entrepreneurs who bring real change to their communities.

Sustainability:

Targeting an ambitious 80% repayment rate.
