4SME challenges worldwide SMEs are largely
underserved and disconnected in both developing
and developed economies
- Fractured credit system
- Most small business owners do not know how to
use, obtain or select the best type of financing
to grow their enterprise. This is true in even
the most sophisticated credit environments. - Credit accountability is low. Lenders are unable
to effectively promote valuable financing
products and communicate with SMEs on a mass
scale. - Business loan brokers and DSAs are not equipped
to effectively educate entrepreneurs or stay up
to date on the latest available financing options
- Little awareness of available resources
- Low internet penetration creates barrier for aid
organizations to create awareness on assistance
programs available to SMEs - There is no go-to resource for SMEs looking to
gather information on best practices and policies
on how to set up and grow their company - Aversion to banking and large financial
institutions - General mistrust of banks and large financial
institutions stems from money lending
institutions
5We have served SMEs in the US on three fronts1.
