| Summary, etc | Microfinance is a financial institution that is involved in provision of small scale financial services to low income people .The bulk of the microfinance industry in developing and emerging countries is subsidy-dependent. African and Asian MFIs compensate for non-subsidization by charging higher interest rates. The impact of outreach on financial performances of MFIs is still unclear.Moreover, there seems to be inconsistencies have also arisen on the role of subsidies on performance of firms.The general objectives of this study is to evaluate factors contributing to the financial performance of MFIs in Imenti North Sub-County. This study may benefit policy makers in the ministry of finance, the management of MFIs,the association of microfinance, the managers, potential investors and the employees. The study was guided by micro-credit and agency theories. This study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was 42 respondents which included all the branch managers, operational managers and credit managers of the 14 microfinance institutions operating in Imenti North Sub-County.
