“So, SMEs can leverage start-ups by providing loans with reasonable interest to support entrepreneurs weak performances, and prevent future liquidation; as bank loans and trade, credit are the sources of external funds upon which most SME start-ups rely. However, entry barriers, economies of scale, or market structure, can affect leverage and SMEs must guard against them all,” he said.
