MicroSave, an India-based technical assistance, training and resource center for microfinance practitioners, has launched its Capital Structuring and Equity Valuation Toolkit for microfinance professionals. The toolkit is designed to explain the context and approaches to capital structuring and equity valuation.
The manual is divided into five sections that include a range of financial instruments used to gain access to debt and capital financing, key topics aimed at identifying optimal capital structure, commonly-used techniques in valuing an MFI and the different aspects to be considered when approaching different types of investors.
The toolkit can be accessed at http://microsave.org/toolkit/capital-structuring-and-equity-valuation
