Early stage small and medium enterprises in developing countries that want to expand their business, improve processes or modernise technology struggle to access affordable finance. The “missing middle” entrepreneurs in Africa, Asia, or Latin America fall squarely between microfinance and conventional commercial financing.

Impact investors target such companies focusing not only on financial, but also social return on investment.
