Microfinance programs emerged in mid 1980s. So, microfinance can be labeled as a new phenomenon. The reason for emergence and rapid development of microfinance programs can be weakness of former development strategies, especially those of financial development. In this research by using a three-dimension Delphi query, the important factors affecting microfinance at Iran have been explored. In the resources side, deposits are composed of Qard al-Hasan, donation, subrogation and saving. In the uses side, the loans are divided into consumption (general consumptions and emergencies) and investing purposes. The institutions active in microfinance are divided into two groups of banks (commercial banks and financial holdings) and financial institutions (for profit and non-profit). The group lending and solidarity responsibility were underlined at legal-jurisprudence. At the application aspects, emphasis on usage of electronic systems and separate report of loans by their types and contracts is noticeable.
