Abstract

Das Finanzierungsumfeld für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) befindet sich im Wandel. Die Veränderungen des konjunkturellen Umfelds und der damit verbundenen Niedrigzinspolitik sowie die Basel-Regulierungen zeigen einen deutlichen Einfluss auf die Finanzierungsstrukturen der KMU. So konnten KMU ihre Eigenkapitalquoten deutlich stärker als Großunternehmen erhöhen und haben damit ihren Rückstand vollständig aufgeholt. Diese Entwicklung erstreckt sich über alle Regionen und Branchen. Die Untersuchung verschiedener Finanzierungsquellen zeigt, dass der Bankkredit zwar weiterhin das zentrale Fremdfinanzierungsinstrument für KMU ist, jedoch im Vergleich zur Innenfinanzierung durch einbehaltene Unternehmensgewinne deutlich an Bedeutung verliert.
