Finance is a key bottleneck that confines the development of SME. Under the current financial crisis, they need more financial support to survive and become successful. Fortunately, the Chinese government has implemented feasible measures to assist SME in financing.Due to their lack of financial knowledge and techniques, SME are confronted with problems such as limited financing channels and high costs.
