EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 14th, 2020 we opened shop to our very first client called Jane Rose
Kengozi a hawker and resident of Kimwanyi Wandegeya (commonly known as
Katanga Slum). She acquired a one month loan of 100,000/- and was able to pay it
back in less than three weeks having accomplished her intended purpose of
borrowing.
Barely a month after the easing of a total lockdown that broke down the financial
muscles of many people especially the least earning, we moved into the market
with this category of people on our minds. As a company, we zeroed down to
giving collateral free loans with financial literacy lessons to daily income earners
who are unable to access credit due to the size of their business and absence of
collateral.
Ever since, ours has been more than credit as we intend to leave value for every
money disbursed thus the continuous financial literacy lectures and support we
pass on to our customers.
With a clientele base of over 300+ clients and a recorded 1000+ loans disbursed
yet with 1.1% overall written off loans puts us in a more trusted position as a
service provider and as well a very efficient investment tool.
Over the last 21 months of activity we have planted our foot firmly in the lending
market. A lot has been learned and as the business dynamics keep shifting, a tech
based and customer centered model is the best outfit for the competition in the
market today; we therefore make ourselves ready to satisfy our loyal client and the
unexplored prospects by considering the need to scale, upgrade and serve our niche
which is less prioritized by other players in the market.
ABOUT ANALIGHT CREDIT SERVICES LTD
Analight Credit Services limited as a credit only institution begun operations in
2020 and was duly registered as a limited liability company under the laws of
Uganda with registration number 80020003161696.
Analight Credit as shortly known specializes in extending micro collateral free
loans to persons with daily income earnings currently in the districts of Kampala
and Wakiso. The company offers credit facilities of as low as UGX100, 000/-
and a maximum of UGX2, 000,000/- for a first time client.
Founded by two experienced credit analysts Paul and Rehema, Analight credit has
continuously thrived under strict adherence to the company’s mission of building
lives through fostering financial inclusion and a vision “To be the most reliable and
convenient financial partner for growth”
The company core values; - Relationships, Integrity, Knowledge, Timely and
Growth are the right explanation of what we offer as being beyond loans. We value
our partners and customer experiences, holding them with much respect and
honesty as we share knowledge on different levels. Our timely service and
feedback speaks volumes about our intention to facilitate customer growth which
translates into our own growth.
Our unique reason for being in the market is;
-To serve credit with financial literacy thus limiting bad debts
-To serve the young people and women in business who may not have collateral
-To be available for the low capital businesses that are denied credit from
mainstream borrowers
-To save the unbanked from high and exploitative interest rates of shylocks
To be the sure go to financial institution in times of urgency

In addition to financial literacy lectures, we offer these loan products;


a) Cash flow based 1(Cashbul1)
This is the company’s flagship product which is a one month loan
ranging from UGX100, 000/- to UGX 399,999/-. It carries a
processing fee of UGX10, 000/- and a monthly interest rate of 15%
flat, has a weekly repayment schedule.

b) Cash flow based 2 (Cashbul2)


Cashbul2 is a loyalty form of loan which is advanced to clients that
have excellently repaid at least two cycles of Cashbul1.It is a two
months loan paid weekly with a processing fee of UGX20, 000/- and
flat interest rate of 15% per month, ranging from UGX400, 000/- to
UGX2000, 000/-

The company’s business model of leveraging area coordinators for clients’


mobilization and monitoring is credited for the bigger part of the success story we
are, especially on the loans quality and repayments. Our well trained coordinators
who are permanent residents in our two choice areas of operation (Kyebando &
Wandegeya) have performed incredibly well in protecting the interests of the
company as well as promoting the products within their vicinities. The
comradeship of the directors and coordinators has only kept us going stronger and
better every passing day.

CONCLUSION
As a company, this short term goal doesn’t blind us from the big picture five years
plan of expansion. We choose to consider this first round of investment since it is a
tool we are counting on for the essential fixes we need to match the competition in
the market. The expertise and market are in our favor owing to the fact that we are
there and doing it within the limitations of not having the required technology and
capital.
We remain optimistic for more pitching and detailed discussions which shall lead
to cemented agreements for this realistic investment dream.
