Abstract: | While bank loans remain the traditional option for small and medium enterprises, peer-to-peer lending provides access to capital from disperse investors. National regulatory frameworks shape investor confidence, reduce information asymmetries, and influence the expansion of both traditional and alternative finance. Drawing on a panel of 125 countries from 2014-2018, this study shows that favorable regulations, robust creditor rights and deeper information systems, along with dedicated crowdfunding laws, and regulatory sandboxes, improve SME accessibility to finance. |
