Suggestions:
While visiting the organization’s local office we have
remarked following suggestions:

• There should be more branches in district Rahim yar Khan


which is basically agricultural area and there are lots of
potential customers in shape of small farmers.

• Management should take market surveys to get the latest


information about the market trend, the demand and supply
of the micro financing in the current market.

• One thing that is strongly needed is promotional campaigns


to aware the customers about the facilities provided. As the
target population is less educated or no-educated so they
have to adapt such methods which can be easily
understandable by the target audience.

• The debt to equity ratio of the organization is very high as


300% and they need to put special efforts to look after it. If a
lot of debt is used to finance increased operations (high debt
to equity), the company could potentially generate more
earnings than it would have without this outside financing.
However, the cost of this debt financing may outweigh the
return that the company generates on the debt through
investment and business activities and become too much for
the company to handle. This can lead to bankruptcy, which
would leave shareholders with nothing.
