It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of financial and banking practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. Buying a tool rarely fixes microfinance and small enterprise support; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants finish able to explain the practice within financial and banking practice to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of enterprise support and prepares them for it. This programme builds microfinance and small enterprise support from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Where enterprise support is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this area of financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
