Course programme

Course Description:

The course follows the below listed basic logics and assumptions on SME Finance:

SMEs require specific financial services and products according to their comparably small size and often limited scope.

SMEs sometimes operate in informal or semi-formal environments; access to reliable (or even audited) financial data is therefore often limited.

Since audited financial statements and sound business planning may not be available, the financial institution has to analyze the situation of the client carefully and verify verbal or internal statements.

Once data is gathered and verified, lending decisions can be taken based on financial considerations and depending on risk appetite.

This course contributes to the UN SDGs
