Abstract: In the context of the international financial crisis, the necessity to attract new financing sources and to ensure the correlation between the capital supply and demand became a new challenge for the firms, especially for the SMEs. The concept of "investment readiness" refers to the capacity of entrepreneurs to understand the specific needs of the investors and to be able to answer to them through relevant information, a high level of credibility and trust that can determine the investor to finance the project or the business. The SMEs should be prepared for investment if they want to satisfy the investors’ requirements and to attract the necessary funds. In fact, the central idea of the investment readiness is the necessity to take into consideration the both aspects of SMEs’ financing: the capital demand and the capital supply.
