Abstract:

SMMEs provide an indispensable framework for addressing unemployment, poverty and boosting the economy of a country. This report was impelled by the need to create and sustain enterprises within the hotels and restaurant sub-sector of the tourism industry in Libreville, Gabon. A quantitative methodology was embraced to disperse seventy self-administered questionnaires to owners and managers of hotels and restaurants. The results demonstrate that the key components which lead to the failure or non-sustainability of businesses include: limited access to start-up finance required to cover start-up and growth cost, the low return on investment, as well as the mismanagement of businesses. Given that job creation remains a dependable method for diminishing unemployment and poverty, establishing and sustaining businesses in Libreville would be a step in the right direction in Gabon. Keywords: venture creation, enterprise development, entrepreneurship challenges, Libreville. JEL Classification: M13, L26, L83

Abstract:

Small retail businesses are essential for the growth of the South African economy. Though many of these business entities need more assets to seize business opportunities, previous research studies suggest that their overall access to finance through banks and other finance providers seems to be limited. In general, small retail businesses are usually managed by entrepreneurs who lack financial knowledge, but banks, when deciding on credit applications, rely heavily on financial information, which is provided by these entrepreneurs. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, this study aimed to explore barriers that limit access to finance for South African small retailers, from the perspectives of finance providers (banking institutions) and finance seekers (small retailers). Additionally, measures were highlighted to show how those hurdles could be overcome. Qualitative research was conducted, whereby data were collected via semi-structured interviews with management personnel at banks and other financial institutions, as well as independent experts and small retail business owners and managers. The findings show that many financing opportunities are available to small retail businesses, but access to these opportunities is limited mainly owing to, inter alia, strict bank regulations and factors that are inherent to small retail business owners.

Abstract:

The literature on lending to small firms has primarily focused on the mechanisms and methods used to evaluate entrepreneurs and businesses and on the types of firms that are more likely to experience unfavourable application outcomes. That is, the focus of most empirical research is on supply-side decisions. The current research attempts to shed some light on demand-side considerations. Drawing upon data collected as the UK SME Finance Monitor (2011–2014), we identify links between entrepreneurs' diligence, business risk and finance-related advice-seeking prior to initiating loan and overdraft applications. The results show evidence of the usefulness of advice in ameliorating, both structural and strategic, business risk and improving the prospects of successful debt applications to banks.

Abstract:

Small and family-owned businesses play an important role in job creation. In this study, perceived barriers to succession planning are examined. Small business owners (most of whom were family businesses) were asked about these barriers to succession planning and the potential interest in educational programs for small businesses. Based on these data, potential tools and seminars were developed.

Abstract:

Tax law allows preferential treatment for certain types of transactions. Investment in qualified small business stock (QSBS) is one area where several provisions exist to encourage this type of investment. This paper examines two provisions that apply to sales of QSBS that result in gains. One provision, I.R.C. §1202, provides for an exclusion of up to 50 percent of the gain on the sale. The second, I.R.C. §1045, provides for a deferral of gain on the sale of QSBS if the proceeds are reinvested in other QSBS. While valuable tax incentives are associated with the use of either of these provisions, the question arises as to whether both of these provisions can be used together with regard to the same sale of qualifying stock, and if so, in what order. The provisions are illustrated separately and followed by a discussion and illustration of the provisions in combination.

Abstract:

The prospect of full interstate banking in the near future raises questions about the supply and cost of bank credit for small business firms under such a regime. This study explores this issue, drawing on the evidence of prior research. Specifically, the focus is on three questions: (1) the likely commitment of large, nationwide banks to the small business sector; (2) the implications of interstate banking for the viability of small, independent banks; and (3) the effect of nationwide banking on the overall level of local bank competition. The available evidence indicates little reason to expect the supply or cost of small business credit to be affected adversely by interstate banking. If anything, nationwide banking should increase the supply, and possibly lower the cost, of bank financing for small firms.

Abstract:

The importance of small businesses to manage finance from banks served as one of the motivational factors for small business growth. This study investigated the outcome if small businesses managed finance from banks for growth in Jos, Plateau State. The study adopted the descriptive survey design with a population of 550. However, 435 responses as collected from small businesses that enjoyed bank loans. The age bracket of the respondents ranged from twenty-seven years and above. The source of data for this research was primary with a self-administered questionnaire as the instrument for the data collection. The questionnaire used for this study was in a five-point Likert-scale, validated by four senior lecturers in a closely related field. The linear regression method was adopted for data analysis employed to test the hypothesis to investigate how small businesses managed bank loans for growth. The finding showed that small businesses significantly had finance management that grew their business in Plateau State. In conclusion, bank loans and small businesses are mutually inclusive with appropriate finance management by small businesses to grow businesses in Jos, Plateau State. The recommendation was bank loans be made always available to small businesses in Jos, Plateau State since small businesses showed appropriate finance management to grow business.

Full text

Abstract:

This work aims to verify an authorial forecasting method from a system of interdependent equations, which is based on empirical equations of the structural form and is mainly intended for econometric micromodels. The prediction procedure will be analogous to the so-called chain prediction that is used for recursive models. The difference—compared with the prediction from a recursive model—entails the necessity of using one of the reduced-form empirical equations to begin the procedure of constructing a sequence of forecasts from successive structural-form empirical equations. The research results presented above indicate that the above-proposed iterative forecasting method from structural-form equations of a system of interdependent equations guarantees synchronization of forecasts as part of a closed cycle of relations. A different number of iterations is required to obtain convergent forecasts. It can be noticed that the further ahead the forecasted period is, the more iterations should be carried out to obtain convergent forecasts. Small business management with the use of forecasting can be done remotely. Rapid updates of statistical information will require cloud-based communication. Completion of data in a cloud will allow, on one hand, accurate assessment of expired forecasts and, on the other, to update the predictor equations. This can be carried out at any place with Internet access.

Abstract:

Purpose – The current credit rationing strongly influences the viability of SMEs innovation projects. In this context, the practice of screening borrowers by project success probability has become a paramount consideration for both lenders and firms. The aim of this paper is to test the screening role of loan contracts that consider collateral-interest margins simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach – This paper presents an empirical analysis that uses a unique data set composed of 323 bank loans granted by 28 banks to SMEs backed by a Spanish Mutual Guarantee Institution. Findings – The results show that appropriate combinations of collateral and interest rates can distinguish between borrowers with different project success probability: low success probability borrowers finance its projects without collateral and with high interest rates, whereas high success probability borrowers accept loans with real estate collateral and low interest rates. Practical implications – This screening mechanism reduces credit rationing, thus increasing good projects' access to credit. Originality/value – This study provides the first empirical evidence on the effectiveness of collateral-interest pairs as a self-selection mechanism.

Abstract:

Shareholders and debtholders have diverging objectives. Shareholders are residual claimants whereas debtholders are fxed claimants to frm’s assets. In leveraged frms, shareholders may increase the value of their claims at the expense of debtholders. The presence of shareholders being debtholders is a smart interest alignment, providing a solution to shareholder-debtholder conﬂicts. This paper focuses on small businesses, which play an important role in the United States economy but are generally neglected by academia. Utilizing National Survey of Small Business Finance (NSSBF) data, this paper shows that frms with higher agency cost of debt are more likely to issue owner loan. The incidence of small business owner loan is positively associated with external lending diffculty, low shareholder agency cost and frm valuation diffculty.

Abstract:

Small business sector is considered as an important economic driver by many countries. In South Africa, small business sector has been acknowledged as the driving force to boost the economic growth and an important source of job creation. This article aims at identifying factors that are a challenge in obtaining bank finance by small businesses in South Africa.Primary data for this study involved a survey questionnaire directed to owners of small businesses operating in Ekurhuleni Metropolitan area, Gauteng, South Africa. Factors that were deemed to influence bank loan decision were examined. The research findings revealed that factors such as age of business, business plans availability, educational background of business owner, experience of business owner and availability of a collateral have an influence on the bank loan decisions. This research also found that the accessibility of loan funding from banks was a constraint on business operations and growth. The findings of this study indicate that the mentioned factors are a challenge for small businesses in accessing bank loans to fund their operations.The findings of this study will be of great value to small business owners and policy makers in finding solutions to address the identified barriers.
