The research applied a mixed methodology and at the first stage, qualitative data is collected and then the results of these structured interviews were used to construct a survey questionnaire for the quantitative analysis. The result of study shows that the levels of business cooperation and information sharing and quality of business have an important significance on the success of loan application. Furthermore, the results also support that the bureaucracy of bank in terms of loan documents requirement and loan evaluation procedure can make small business hesitate when applying for loans.
