Small Business, Big Opportunities

By Indika Pradeepsingh Wimalakeerthi Sirinaga and S. M. Ferdous Azam

This book aimed to assess the determinants of SME financing in Malaysia. Reliable information was obtained through a quantitative study of 220 respondents, with an alpha value of 0.781 in the reliability test. Results from the one-sample t-test indicated that the independent variables, including funding options, managerial and financial skills, collateral, and credit rating, had a significant positive influence on the dependent variable, the sustainability of SMEs. Correlation and linear regression analyses further validated the hypothesis, with a perfect R and R2 value obtained in the linear regression. The ANOVA analysis also showed a significant correlation, with a p-value of 0.000. Therefore, the study concludes that the findings can be applied within the context of SME sustainability in Malaysia.
