Scaling Uo Inclusive Business

This report is intended to frame key issue areas that need to be addressed to move the field of inclusive business forward – toward greater scale and effectiveness – building on the considerable momentum that already exists.

We have chosen to do this by documenting and analyzing 14 inclusive business models deemed to be commercially viable and scalable by the International Finance Corporation, having passed its investment due diligence process and received financing. We have compared our findings to key findings in the literature to date, and identified opportunities for more in-depth new research.
