Innovative ways to finance impact enterprises
Get inspired with our Innovative Finance Toolkit!
Alternative finance for impact enterprises in Bangladesh – and beyond
We need to redefine the terms of investments to better fit the unique attributes of impact enterprises — whether it be more patience, unconventional repayment options, or rewards for impact. In this toolkit, we want to highlight some of the alternative structures that can be used to support impact enterprises on their journeys to create much-needed impact at scale.
