The aim of this project is to provide recommendations on improving access to finance to MSME owned. It will study the available financing sources (formal and informal) as per needs of MSMEs and recommend financial solutions. However, the main focus will be determining the formal financing solutions for MSMEs. It will also assist Azizi Bank in establishing a dedicated MSME Unit, designing specific products as per needs of these MSMEs and developing the policies and procedural manuals. While doing so, the consultant will survey the existing financial products available through surveys, focus groups, workshops, etc. It will highlight the reasons of a product’s success or its failure (as deemed appropriate).
