Overview
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are important engines of growth, jobs and social cohesion. However, the creation, survival and growth of SMEs is often hampered by access to finance. Thus, access to SME finance has become a key priority in developing and transition countries. Since the early nineties, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is combining advisory work, training, and policy advice with applied research. The goal of the Certified Expert in SME Finance course at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management is to support financial institutions in developing and transition countries establish good practices in Micro and SME finance.
