Focus Reliance Holdings wins Global Business Excellence and People’s Excellency Awards for microfinance excellence

Focus Reliance Holdings Private Limited has been recognised as the Best Microfinance Provider at the Global Business Excellence Awards 2025, organised by London Business Consultancy and held at the BMICH in Colombo. The company also secured the Microfinance Leader Award at the People’s Excellency Awards 2024, reflecting its growing recognition within the financial services sector. This prestigious achievement highlights the company’s continued commitment to expanding financial access across Sri Lanka, particularly for individuals and communities seeking to start or grow small income-generating activities. Focus Reliance Holdings is a member of the Lanka Microfinance Practitioners Association and has consistently demonstrated its dedication to inclusive financial services.

With over five years of operational experience, Focus Reliance Holdings offers a diverse portfolio of financial solutions tailored to individuals with limited access to formal banking and credit facilities. Its microfinance services include both individual and group lending schemes, designed especially for entrepreneurs. These loans are typically small, collateral-free, and structured under joint liability models, enabling greater accessibility. Customers are also provided with opportunities to access higher loan amounts over time, based on their repayment history and long-term engagement with the company. Beyond financial services, the company places strong emphasis on community development through capacity-building initiatives. Focus Reliance Holdings conducts business and financial literacy programmes aimed at equipping borrowers with the knowledge and skills required to manage and grow their enterprises effectively. These initiatives also encourage greater confidence in engaging with economic opportunities while promoting environmentally responsible practices within communities.

In addition to its microfinance operations, the company offers a wide range of financial products for micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises. These include speed loans, emergency loans, consumer loans, daily loans, and business loans, as well as secured and unsecured lending options, machinery financing, personal loans, and special draft facilities. The company also provides financial services linked to sectors such as construction and tourism. Expanding beyond financial services, Focus Reliance Holdings has diversified into distribution and retail. The company currently serves as a Colombo distributor for Orel and One Globe products and has also launched the FRH supermarket chain, with its first outlet recently opened in Pitakotte.
