Financing MSMEs? Look at the big picture, take holistic decisions

By March 13, 2018 4:24 pm IST

While MSMEs seem like a large and homogeneous group, every business is unique, and warrants customised financing solutions for its specific needs.

The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is a vibrant and dynamic component of the Indian economy. It contributes 45 per cent to the national industrial output, 40 per cent to India’s exports, and employs over 60 million people. MSMEs are undoubtedly a major contributor to India’s growth story. Their sheer size and scope make them the growth engine of our economy.

While several central and state initiatives attempt to boost the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability of this sector, there is a lot that companies can do to make the most of these schemes. This is partly because every industry, and their allied micro-industries, are unique. Their challenges are varied, and blanket solutions do not help mitigate deep-rooted challenges.

A recent Siemens Financial Services research has highlighted that lack of relevant skills and access to finance are the two major internal obstacles for companies trying to make a transition to Industry 4.0. Further, external factors such as demonetisation, GST implementation, and now e-Way bill require MSMEs to reinvent their business models.

This uncertainty means that businesses are forced to become more reactive and less proactive. A mindset which does not help the highly entrepreneurial SME-MSME space. These constrains result in lost opportunities, underperformance, and underutilisation of capacities. Entrepreneurs often share that equipment requirements can be unplanned. In order to fulfil a large order, capacities need to be upgraded almost instantly.

However, if entrepreneurs attempt to use their own money for expansion, they divert working capital to finance assets, which in the case of long-term assets is not desirable. What they need is a source of specialist finance that truly understands their business, not just their financials, and helps them speed up the order placement process by offering quick turn-around times.
