Re: [MFP] Formalization of informal businesses

 

The latest issue of 'Enterprise Development and Microfinance' (the bright red journal that used to be called 'Small Enterprise Development' and maybe should be again), September 2014, volume 25 number 3, focuses on SME lending and includes several papers that relate to your question.

Dear all

I am looking for example of financial institutions that use their relationships with micro and small businesses to encouage those enterprises to formalize, to become registered, meet safety and health requirements, and perhaps even pay taxes. I know that ABA in Egypt does that, requiring a greater degree of formalization as businesses want to access larger loans. I would be keen to learn more about any other examples.

Many thanks,
Craig
