Microfinance institutions cover an extensive range of funders that differ in terms of legal traditions, objectives, target market and approach style.

They found that when the outside investors are not adequately protected with the help of legal framework offered by a country in the result of which entrepreneurs and actual owners are forced to sustain big positions themselves to line up their incentives with other investors [5]. More clearly, countries with weak investor protection should have more intense ownership structures.
