CHF International Micro-lending Project
New Perimeter assisted CHF International with its micro-lending program. The program stimulated entrepreneurial activity in developing countries by providing very small loans to small businesses to help them with start-up or expansion costs or to individuals for housing/home improvement. As part of this project, New Perimeter lawyers had examined the legal structures of CHF's eleven micro-lending institutions, and explored ways to create sustainable funding options for the continuation and expansion of CHF's micro-lending programs. The team helped CHF create a stand-alone entity controlled by CHF in order to consolidate its microfinance operations and facilitate attracting a broader donor base. CHF also planned to focus fundraising efforts on investors interested in socially conscious investments with attendant market returns.
