Financing the last mile: Should distributors offer credit? (webinar recording)

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.

We hosted this webinar in collaboration with MAF Lab (ex-PAYGo Lab), where we unpacked what credit really looks like in the last mile distribution sector, including whether LMDs should offer credit or not, weigh the pros and cons of outsourcing versus managing credit in-house, and discussed key risks and success factors behind different approaches.

GDC member WidEnergy Africa Ltd shared first-hand insights, top tips, and lessons learned from their own experience.
