Away from the spotlight, smaller companies make a gigantic contribution to the global economy. These types of enterprises are responsible for significant employment and income generation opportunities across the world and have been identified as a major driver of poverty alleviation and development.
SMEs (Small and medium-sized businesses) tend to employ a larger share of the vulnerable sectors of the workforce, such as women, youth, and people from poorer households and can sometimes be the only source of employment in rural areas. As such, SMEs as a group are the main income provider for the income distribution at the “base of the pyramid”. SMEs are the first responders to societal needs and provide the safety net for inclusiveness.
Smaller businesses can be agile in response to a changing world but their size also makes them vulnerable. Access to finance is a primary obstacle. Identifying international market opportunities and navigating trade-related procedures can be harder for small businesses than for their larger competitors.
