Features: In today's global competition, high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have become a crucial force in boosting a country's economic development, industrial structure upgrading, and participation in global competition. However, in China, the difficulty in financing for high-tech SMEs severely restricts their rapid development, drawing significant attention from the government, industry, and scholars. This book analyzes the operational characteristics of high-tech SMEs in China, explores the challenges in their financing practices, introduces advanced SME financing systems and policies in the U.S. and Canada, discusses inter-enterprise lending, and designs financing solutions for high-tech SMEs in China through case studies. Finally, it examines the issues in financing for high-tech SMEs from macro-level, enterprise-level, investor, and intermediary perspectives, proposing policy recommendations to address financing challenges. With the implementation and enforcement of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Promotion Law, the gradual establishment of a credit system, a guarantee system, and a capital market system, as well as the continuous innovation of financing tools, China's high-tech SMEs will undoubtedly overcome their financing difficulties and move toward a brighter future.
