An Original Equity Requirement Estimation Model

Luciana Canovi and Valeria Venturelli

Chapter 4 in Bridging the Equity Gap for Innovative SMEs, 2008, pp 43-60 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In recent years, the question of whether the growth of Italian SMEs, and young, innovative firms in particular, is being restricted by a lack of equity capital, and if so to what extent, has attracted the attention of both researchers and practitioners. The main aim of this chapter is to identify and verify the causes that generate financial needs to be covered by equity, and to estimate the absolute and relative size of the investment required.
