Rent To Own Zambia

Rent to Own (RTO) was founded in 2010 to facilitate access to productive assets for smallholder farmers and small-scale entrepreneurs. In Zambia, innovative business owners lack access to affordable, available, and appropriate equipment for key business functions such as farming and manufacturing. Without productive equipment, these entrepreneurs are not able to realize their business potential, increase their incomes, and improve their livelihoods. At RTO, we address this gap by providing an “all in one” package of high-quality equipment, delivery, installation, training, and tailored financing. Entrepreneurs are able to immediately use their assets to generate income and complete their payments on time. As a regional pioneer in asset financing, we have worked with over 8500 clients and have successfully disbursed over 5M USD worth of equipment. We are backed by major players in the impact investment community, including Triple Jump and Small Foundation. We are also increasingly shifting our focus to renewable energy assets, and have installed over 600 solar irrigation solutions for smallholder and emergent farmers since 2018.
