Forcing SMEs to rely on informal sources of capital Adequate access to finance is crucial for SMEs to survive and eventually grow beyond their SME Status “ In India, the reality is that SMEs have poor access to finance” “the average SME relies mostly on its own capital and/or informal borrowing from friends and family members for start-up funds and working capital”
Formal SME financing in India presents hosts of challenges SME universe is diverse. No one size fits all solution Institutional funding sources typically target process driven scalable opportunities Poor information, fragile systems , weak control/corporate governance Difficult to assess and analyse via a template approach/standard format Apart from Capital , lack of management resources and bandwidth Institutional funding sources not equipped to address. Low return on effort for pure debt financing Consequently banking institutions gravitate towards collateral based financing
Need for SME Exchange Provide the SMEs with equity financing opportunities to grow their business – from expansion to acquisition Equity Financing will lower the Debt burden leading to lower financing cost and healthier balance sheet Expand the investors base, which in turn will help in getting secondary equity financing, including private placement Enhance company’s visibility. Media coverage can provide SME with greater profile and credibility leading to increase in the value of its shares Incentives for greater venture capital participation by providing an exit option thus reducing their lock-in period 9
Need for SME Exchange Greater incentive for the employees as they can participate in the ownership of the company and benefit from being its shareholders Encourage innovation and entrepreneurial spirit Capital Market will help distribute risk more efficiently by transfer of risk to those, who are best able to bear it SME sector will grow better on two pillars of Financial system i.e. Banking and Capital Market Initiating a dedicated Stock Exchange for SMEs’ will lead to mobilisation of the diversified resources of finance and build a bridge between the SMEs, Private Equity and the Venture Capital by providing an exit route. 10
