Chapter 3 in Bridging the Equity Gap for Innovative SMEs, 2008, pp 29-42 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The debate concerning the financing of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (ISMEs) finds that these firms face an equity gap, in other words, a shortage of risk capital investment. The aim of this chapter is to define the concept of the equity gap within the broader concept of the financing gap.
