What is the Sale or Purchase of a Micro Finance Company?

Sale or acquisition of Micro Finance Company is formal change in ownership, management control, and regulatory oversight of an NBFC-MFI with a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) registration. It is not a commercial transaction—it entails:
- Thorough financial and legal due diligence
- Regulatory compliance, i.e., RBI guidelines
- Disclosure and transparency of documents
RBI approval for change in management or equity shareholding
Whether you are an investor looking for an RBI-approved NBFC or an owner looking to exit in a strategic capacity, this process provides opportunities to growth and remoulding in the finance sector.
