Financing the last mile: Should distributors offer credit?
Credit can open doors for low-income customers – ensuring they access beneficial products they couldn’t afford upfront. But for last mile distributors (LMDs), it means taking on risk, managing repayments, and balancing social impact with financial sustainability. So, the big question is: should LMDs offer credit at all?
Join us on 9th December 2-3pm EAT for a webinar hosted in collaboration with MAF Lab (ex-PAYGo Lab), where we’ll unpack what credit really looks like in the last mile distribution sector.
We’ll dig into whether LMDs should offer credit or not, weigh the pros and cons of outsourcing versus managing credit in-house, and discuss key risks and success factors behind different approaches.
GDC members WidEnergy Africa Ltd and Tulima Solar will share first-hand insights, top tips, and lessons learned from their own experiences.
