Microfranchise: Financing Growth
The main issue with MicroFranchising is always scale and growth. Up to this point most successful models have been a side operation of a successful parent company that lends technical and financing expertise in the same field:
* Norway’s Telenor with Grameen’s Village Phone,
* Danone with Grameen on small yogurt factories, or
* Scojo with Scojo Vision Entrepreneurs.
However, with the wave of social entrepreneurship, more companies are starting from their very beginnings with a social mission. And just as microfinance is moving into the mainstream capital markets for financing, social enterprises are tapping into the world of venture capital to help them launch. Some of the leading organizations specializing in social venture capital are the Acumen Fund, Good Capital and Aavishkaar, all of which have received recent praising press.
