ABSTRACT:
The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of industrial SMEs with different legal forms, and assess whether the legal form affects access to financing. We examine a sample of 658 industrial firms in Argentina. The results of the study show that there are significant differences between firms with different legal forms, and that limited liability firms are more likely to obtain a bank loan. This result is very interesting for companies, for the government, and financial institutions.
Keywords: SMEs, bank financing, legal form, emerging markets, Argentina.
