Improving business conditions - Increasing SME Access to Finance: A Four Pronged Approach
   

Improving business conditions, boosting the capacity of SMEs, expanding the financial sector and strengthening links between firms will permanently increase SMEs’ access to finance.

Improving business conditions Proper information, a key to deciding whether to make a loan, would be helped by adopting clear accounting standards, setting up independent, competent and reputable accounting firms and creating more credit bureaux supplying data on the solvency of firms.

An impartial legal system that can help settle contract disputes, commercial law reform and drafting and clarifying land titles, as well as effective bankruptcy procedures, are vital for growth of the business sector.

A country’s tax laws can either coax small businesses into the formal sector of the economy or keep them out of it.

Governments should also make sure that they pay SMEs promptly, since public contracts are vital to the financial security of these firms. To learn more about this author, visit OECD Development Centre's Website.
