INTRODUCTION OF SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the
objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME
development strategy.
Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development approach. A
few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth research was conducted
and comprehensive development plans were formulated after identification of impediments and
retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development strategy involved overhauling of the
regulatory environment by taking into consideration other important aspects including finance,
marketing, technology and human resource development.
After successfully qualifying in the first phase of sector development SMEDA reorganised its
operations in January 2001 with the task of SME development at a broader scale and enhanced
outreachreach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation. Currently, SMEDA along with sectoral focus
offers a range of services to SMEs including over the counter support systems, exclusive business
development facilities, training and development and information dissemination through a wide range
of publications. SMEDA’s activities can now be classified into the three following broad areas:
1. Creating a Conducive Environment; includes collaboration with policy makers to devise
facilitating mechanisms for SMEs by removing regulatory impediments across numerous policy
areas
2. Cluster/Sector Development; comprises formulation and implementation of projects for SME
clusters/sectors in collaboration with industry/trade associations and chambers
3. Enhancing Access to Business Development Services; development and provision of services to
meet the business management, strategic and operational requirements of SMEs
SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors, including fruits and vegetables,
marble and granite, gems and jewellery, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical
instruments, transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale still
requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation.
Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of services are now being offered to the SMEs by
SMEDA, which are driven by factors like enhanced interaction amongst the stakeholders, need based
sectoral research, over the counter support systems, exclusive business development facilities,
training and development for SMEs and information dissemination through wide range of
publications.

Policy & Planning department while development of Regulatory Procedures is a part of an overall
information dissemination function of the department.
In order to facilitate SMEs at the micro level Policy & Planning department has developed user-
friendly systems which provide them detail description of the Laws and Regulations including the
process and steps required for compliance.
What is SME?
As defined by State Bank of Pakistan - SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) means an entity, ideally
not a public limited company, which does not employee more than 250 persons (if it is manufacturing
concern) and 50 persons (if it is trading / service concern) and also fulfills the following criteria of
either ‘a’ and ‘c’ or ‘b’ and ‘c’ as relevant:
(a) A trading / service concern with total assets at cost excluding land and buildings up to Rs 50
million.
(b) A manufacturing concern with total assets at cost excluding land and building up to Rs 100
million.
(c) Any concern (trading, service or manufacturing) with net sales not exceeding Rs 300 million as per
latest financial statements.
In order to obtain financing from SME Bank, the enterprise must fall within the bracket of definition
of small and medium enterprise given by SME Bank.
The SME sector in Pakistan has always been taken as risky and non-bankable, even though they
have default rate that is far less than that for Large Scale Enterprises (15% for SMEs against 65% for
Large Scale Enterprise). Despite strong figures favouring SMEs, financial institutions have been shy
of providing finance to SMEs because of following reasons:
Poor record keeping by SMEs, particularly accounting information and other business
documentation.
Low productivity and their inability to improve quality of products over time.
Poor operational performance.
Problems with packaging bankable loan requests by SMEs.
Limited knowledge of financing options for SMEs.
Lengthy and cumbersome application procedures, which discourage both SMEs and Banks.
High transaction costs owing to size of transaction, vis-à-vis volume of transactions which
discourages banks.
High turn around time owing to lack of timely and quality information from SMEs.
Lack of skills in banks for identifying needs and structuring the delivery of financial assistance
to SMEs.
Lack of expertise in banks for appraising/structuring SME Projects.
Stringent collateral requirements and other banking regulations.
General risk aversion by banks.
All these factors have created a gap between lenders and SMEs. This has deprived SMEs from getting
financing for setting up, or the expansion of the business.

SME Bank Ltd. is trying to bridge the gap between the financing needs of SMEs and their access to
financing resources. SME Bank also provides Business Support Services in areas of;
1. Management
2. Product innovation and development
3. Quality control
4. Acquisition of new technology
5. Product positioning

marketing skills. Similar support services can also be availed from SMEDA.
Any commercially viable business proposal can qualify for bank’s financing. However, in the first
instance the Bank tries to help and support enterprises,
LENDING PRODUCTS
Any commercially viable business proposal merits SME Bank’s support. It is Bank’s effort to assist
and support enterprises that use indigenous raw material, add value and are export oriented. Such
enterprises are vital to our economy since these are labor intensive and thus create employment
opportunities.
Project Lending Scheme is for those enterprises that are commercially viable and do not fall in the
category of program lending scheme. Under this scheme working capital and medium-long term
financing facility is available for qualifying enterprises. The financing criteria and credit analysis for
this category of borrowers varies on case to case basis.

clients.

expected cash flows. It varies from business to business, but is in the range of 4% to 8% above the
GoP’s 5-year PIB rate.

bank. The bank’s projections are based on the business plan and the financial statements of the
client, which are provided at the time of submitting application for a loan. The repayment is
scheduled according to the cash flow of the client. It could be either on monthly basis or quarterly
basis. However, the total repayment period does not exceed 7 years with varying grace period of upto
12 months.

Obtain Finance from SME Bank Policy & Planning
1. Registered Mortgage
SME bank has assigned some areas to be negative and carries out registered mortgage in case of
these areas. The bank registers the mortgage deed with the registrar of properties and the client has
to pay 2 % of the value of collateral. (1% stamp duty and 1% mortgage fee). Original documents of the
property are also kept with the bank.
2. Equitable Mortgage
This type of mortgage is for those clients who fall under the category of areas which are rated as A+ or
positive by the bank. The client simply signs the mortgage deed and his original documents of the
collateral are deposited with the bank as security. This type of mortgage is cheap but normally
avoided by the bank.
Assignment of Rights
According to this the borrower shall have to assign rights to Bank on his:
Insurance monies.
Receivables etc.
Guarantees
The loan guarantees accepted by the bank are:
Personal guarantees of persons having capacity to repay the finance in case of default.

paper. The bank judges whether the guarantor has worth equal to the amount of loan or not.

property and gets the property evaluated from professional evaluator of their choice.

approval.
(This process may take a month or two.)

Step 4
Effective Utilisation of Loan:
If you have revolving credit facility, withdraw funds only when desired. Try to credit account with
your daily sales. It will reduce the mark up cost and reflect good operational activity at the time of
next loan review.
If you are availing term finance, to ensure payments on time try to match your cash flows with
instalments due date. In case, you foresee delay in payment of any instalment inform your bank
upfront. This will establish your credibility.
Don’t waste your money in any dubious transaction to make big money.
Don’t waste money on purchase of non-productive assets.
