How it works

A simple and efficient model

Frontal Microfinance operates a simple and efficient model that connects borrowers in need of financing with investors seeking attractive returns.

01

Origination and assessment

We identify individuals and small businesses with financing needs and conduct thorough but practical credit assessments. Our approach goes beyond traditional metrics, considering real cash flows and business potential.

02

Structuring and funding

Approved opportunities are structured into clear, risk-defined financing arrangements. Capital is then pooled from investors and deployed into these opportunities in a controlled and transparent manner.

03

Monitoring and repayment

We actively manage and monitor all financed positions to ensure performance and early risk detection. Borrowers repay according to agreed terms, and returns are distributed to investors based on their participation.
