WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S.
Government’s development finance institution, has selected Ranjan &
Stephanie Exporters of Kaduwela, Sri Lanka, a business development and finance
consulting firm, to serve as an originator for a growing alliance with the
private sector designed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) expanding
into emerging markets overseas.
The alliance, the Enterprise Development Network (EDN), is expanding the ability
of OPIC – the U.S. government agency charged with facilitating U.S. private
sector investment in emerging markets – to provide financing to SMEs doing
business in developing countries.
Through the support of financial institutions, business consultants,
associations, law firms and regional investment promotion agencies, EDN is
designed to enhance SME access to OPIC products and services. By empowering such
service providers, the network is resulting in more efficient, cost-effective
delivery of services to American businesses.
Ranjan & Stephanie Exporters of Kaduwela, Sri Lanka incorporated their
business early in 2012 as a sole proprietorship. Its owner, Mr. Ranjan
Amarasekara, is an accountant and businessman with more than 20 years of
experience in the finance sector offering business development, feasibility
studies, project reports and more. He has arranged overseas loans, bank
guarantees and other financing through lenders in the Philippines, the U.S.
& UK. He recently formed a non-governmental organization with government
approval named Ranjan & Stephanie Foundation.
