Financing in Chile: a challenge for entrepreneurs

For Chilean entrepreneurs, one of the main difficulties when starting a business is accessing financing. This has been shown by various studies, such as the X-ray of Entrepreneurship in Chile 2019 44,5% of those surveyed think that way.

Most choose to use their own resources or loans from family or friends to finance the business. According to Perception and Expectations Index of SMEs from AVLA that same year, 30% of small businesses did not apply for any type of credit. Another 10% had their request rejected by the entity.

AVLA also found a percentage that withdrew or rejected the loan. Among the reasons for abandoning the process, they highlight that they thought they were going to be rejected, they did not want to go into debt and the excess of paperwork that the application implies.

The lack of an endorsement or guarantee is also a problem at the time of request financing for entrepreneurship in Chile. This is one of the reasons for rejection by financial institutions. For this reason, it is very likely that the interested parties will give up this management.

A business doesn't just require financing to start. You will also need it in the next stages for different expenses; for example, remuneration payments and suppliers.
