SMEs Access to Finance
This document presents a survey conducted by Marketintello on the financing status of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam, covering 208 SMEs across various provinces and sectors such as food processing, textiles, and wooden products. It discusses the reliance of these enterprises on different sources of capital, the experiences with formal and informal financing, and the challenges faced in accessing funds. Overall, while many SMEs recognize the importance of formal finance, a significant number resort to informal methods due to ease of access and fewer requirements.
