telecommunications or privatized industry rather than in smaller companies with relatively few assets, low capitalization and a perceived greater vulnerability to market conditions. Public development institutions can also encounter high administrative costs in making SME investments. These can be coupled with
perceptions that local SMEentrepreneurs may not be trustworthy, and that working with them might bring fewer visibly “developmental” benefits than targeting more poverty-focused fields such as microfinance.
Local commercial banks too are often biased in favor of large corporate borrowers with considerable assets. This has meant that even the lines of credit local banks
receive from development institutions for on-lending to SMEs are often under-utilized. SME entrepreneurs’ lack of experience in accounting and other areas of financial documentation makes it difficult for banks or other potential sources to assess their creditworthiness and cash flows, again hindering the provision of financing.
Combined, these factors have largely left what should be the most dynamic sector of the economy in developing countries lacking the capital it needs to realize its potential.
SEAF believes that the investment levels it takes,coupled with its focused efforts on increase value after investments, allows it to invest at relatively attractive multiples. This offers an array of potential exit possibilities. By contrast, many conventional emerging market private equity investors have had disappointing records in achieving exits over the last four years. SEAF’s approach to early-stage investing in SMEs thus may one day be seen as one of the more appropriate means of investing in developing countries. In the meantime, SEAF is achieving its developmental objectives by
rapidly increasing the revenues, productivity, and employment growth of its investee SMEs.
