Micro Finance Registration

Microfinance companies, as the name suggests, are financial institutions that provide finances to low-income groups, where the finance requirement is lesser as compared to other sectors of the society. These sectors generally do not have access to traditional financial institutions such as banks and other financial institutions.

Need for Microfinance Companies

In India, there are many institutions like banks that grant loans to finance businesses. So why do we need microfinance companies? The need arises as it serves the following purposes:

A : It provides financial assistance to enterprises that cannot place collateral

B : It encourages women entrepreneurship.

C : It provides startups with much-needed support.

D : It offers assistance even for nominal amounts which generally are funded as hand loans.

E : It formalizes the process of lending and hence brings about discipline in borrowing by low-income groups. This prevents over-borrowing and reduces complications arising out of high future debts.
