The Banking Sector

– Prefer to deal with larger and well established businesses
– Collateral requirements – Property etc required
– Lack of relationships with SMEs
– High lending costs

The Banking Sector• Reluctant to provide funding to SMEs
– Difficulties in enforcing legal rights– Lack of SME specialists– Weak financial systems in SMEs– Higher interest rates for consumer lending
Even opening a bank account can be a challenging task!!!

THE SME BANK
• Deals with established businesses
• Not able to assist new start ups
• Similar collateral requirements as other banks
• Bureaucratic issues delay simple transactions

THE SMEs
• Overwhelming majority of SMEs are sole proprietorships and partnerships
• Small number of companies• Majority of SMEs operating in the informal
sector• Existence of a well established informal
finance sector

12/29/14 13
THE SMEs• The informal finance sector
highlights the opportunity that exists for Banks to generate business from SMEs
• Family Businesses and Succession Planning Issues
• Lack of Accounting Systems and procedures
• Shortage of management expertise to expand the business
No real incentive to be part of the formal economy!!!
