Prime Finvest & Leasing Ltd.: Funding Your Potential

CIO Vendor Mr. M A Subramanian was working as a system’s & financial analyst, with a leading Multinational Pharma Major in his early days of his professional career. During this time, he had come across the hiccups associated with the banking world. However, with changing circumstances he found himself with an idea to start a venture on his own. Being familiar with the banking industry, he was motivated to start a Non-Banking finance company. Thus, Prime Finvest & Leasing Ltd. (PFLL) came into being in 1993. The company specializes in identifying capital requirements at various stages of growth and helps clients partner with the right segment of capital sources including banks (Indian and International), large financial institutions, mutual funds, venture / Angel funds and private equity funds.

PFLL began its operations at a time when NBFC’s were still gaining a foothold & regulations still being modified. Moreover, with strong background knowledge on the leasing business and involvement with Bombay Leasing Association, Mr.M.A.Subramanian was able to obtain sufficient funding and client attention. However, things took a turn after 1997 when unscrupulous borrowers started taking lease without their knowledge & the leasing industry went through substantial stress.Gradually PFLL reduced their leasing work. Since NBFC’swere new to India and many people took undue advantage of it, things started to deteriorate further. Speaking further, Mr.M.A.Subramanian says, “The loopholes in the system were leading to closing of several leasing firms. By 1999, most of the firms discontinued its operations and we decided to minimize our leasing operations and started to provide consultation services in two or three major areas of finance, which over a period of time we built an expertise in.
