Abstract

Access to finance is one of the biggest obstacles facing the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) all over the world. The literature shows that growth and development of the SME sector is strongly linked with sustainable access to financial resources. Although a few studies have attempted to examine this relationship in Saudi Arabia, there remain knowledge gaps with respect to the relationship between the development of SME and obtaining funds from financial institutions. In order to fill this gap, this study aims to assess factors that affect access to finance from Saudi banks by SMEs in Saudi Arabia and to identify the obstacles that affect Saudi SME performance.
