Valuefin exists for the marginalized business men and women running micro-businesses and informal enterprises — traders, marketeers, service providers, and small-scale entrepreneurs who keep households and communities moving. We provide practical finance and hands-on support designed for real life, not just boardrooms.
Who We Are
Valuefin is an impact-driven partner for entrepreneurs running micro, small and medium businesses including those in the informal sector. We support business owners who may not yet be formal but are serious about growth, income stability, and building something that lasts.
We understand daily cash flow, unpredictable markets, and the realities of balancing business and family.
What We Do
Flexible, responsible financing for market traders, home-based businesses, service providers, and informal retailers. Funding supports stock, working capital, and steady growth. This is offered through our financing vehicle- Iliyonse.
Hands-on guidance on record-keeping, pricing, savings discipline, and basic business systems — simple, practical, and achievable.
Support for businesses at every stage, whether remaining informal or moving toward formalisation.
