SMEs are important driving force for world economy,
but not only banks will profit on it. 4

5. WAYS OF SMEs FINANCING
Loans from banks and financing via business (trade receivables)
Financing via banking loans, not as one company loan, but as a credit for the group companies bounded by mutual guarantees. Typical representative of this approach is European Association of Mutual Guarantee Societies (AECM). For example there are so called “Confidi” doing this business in Italy.
Venture capital providing sources namely to fast growing innovative projects. There are many various Venture funds or private investors across Europe, but it is rather expensive source of money, not fits for common business needs.
P2P (peer to peer) financing, typically provided through auctions of financial demands. Funds can be delivered by banks or others investors, often both in combinations. We can see the first trials in the Czech Republic, but still with many problems. 5

6. WAYS OF SMEs FINANCING
Crowdfunding project finance, typically collect money from many private investors in case of very interesting projects through FinTech infrastructure. Investor can replace a yield for another benefit as for example promotion of his/her name. Typically it is about non-profit project like musical concert or movie picture.
SME financing via capital market that seems to be a method very supported by European commission. In case of SME there should be easier processes than in case of big corporations. Main ways are IPOs or issue of bonds. Despite of EC support, there are still a lot of problems for SMEs to go this way. A certain possibility seems to be bundling of more loans in one package and replace it by the securities. 6

Different approach comparing with corporates
Fast, simple and transparent way of risk analyses
Data comes from business information systems
Data from industry and regional data are important
Not only ratings, also people behind are the key risk drivers 11

12. HOW TO MANAGE IT? – BI SYSTEM
Majority information on SME are in the business info systems
People behind the business can be analyzed there as well
Company profile is still the key knowledge of the banks
Industry analyses as well
But time is running – is date for changed approach 12

14. HOW TO MANAGE IT? - BI SYSTEM
All necessary inputs for analyses are „single sign-on“
There are tools for evaluation start up companies as well as Entrepreneurs
BI system contains various type of scoring models (payment index, financial index, key person evaluation etc.)
BI system is useful for marketing, credit risk and collection life cycle parts.
But don’t worry, there is still enough space for statisticians ... 14
