Post-Investment Support

LBSC investee enterprises receive a wide range of post-investment
support services to enable their sustainable success

Other than restricted access to financing, the major constraint that SMEs in rural Nepal face is lack of know-how. LBSC believes that in order for an enterprise to become successful, it is essential for best practices in management, marketing, finance, and product development to be incorporated into the company’s operating structure. The simple injection of capital is insufficient to ensure sustainable profitability for the investee enterprises. LBSC provides “hands-on” equity investment, which combines capital with the provision of expertise relating to technical assistance, community mobilization, finance / accounting, product diversification, marketing strategy development, and optimization of organizational structure.
