SME's - a link between funding and a compliance model

SME's - a link between funding and a compliance model

SME's need cash, of that there is no doubt. Similarly, SME's are extremely high risk clients for banks, and it is unlikely that this will ever change.

So what is the solution, if one exists at all? The solution lies in providing a compliance model that mitigates the banks' risk. Until such time as we mitigate bank risk, it is unlikely that banks will free up finance to SME's on a significant level.

The existing compliance models within the market are working well and banks readily fund SME's that are part of compliance models. However, they need to be done on a larger scale in order to create more SME's. Similarly governments must perhaps fund the development of these compliance models by entrepreneurs, and avoid attempting to do so themselves, as this will surely lead to failure. The beauty of compliance models is that they reduce the need for entrepreneurs to drive these new SME's, and allows SME managers to be able to successfuly manage these businesses.

So let us make it easy for banks to fund African SME's, let us reduce the need for aid funding and charity, let us create SME's through compliance models.
