Abstract: Through a proprietary dataset of small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), we examine the impact of venture capital (VC) backup on access to bank loans by SMEs. We find that VC backup can help SMEs obtain more bank loans under better conditions and significantly relieve their financing constraint. This is especially meaningful for private SMEs, those in high‐tech, in regions of less‐developed banking industry, or with lower quality accounting information. This study may have policy implications as a pilot ‘combined debt‐equity financing’ discussion in the context of the largest bank‐based economy.
