Borrowers with faster credit access is the key factor driving market growth. In the online financing platform for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) market, online lending platforms provide loans to underserved borrowers such as SMBs, who are incapable of getting money from established banks and financial institutions. SMBs are connected with higher risks since they lack high-quality collateral and extended credit histories.
Furthermore, through consistency, automation, and openness, this realistic pricing procedure for goods and solutions will aid in the management of individual portfolios and the avoidance of firm-wide threats. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rise in growth of SMBs is the primary trend shaping market growth. SMBs are important in most economies, particularly in developing nations. SMBs make up the extensive majority of enterprises across the globe, and they play an important role in employment creation and global economic development. They account for around 90% of enterprises and more than 50% of global employment.
Moreover, SMBs produce the majority of formal jobs in developing countries, accounting for seven out of every ten jobs created. Thus, the growing importance of SMBs and their role in improving economies and employment is expected to positively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Privacy and security concerns is a challenge that affects market growth. In many developing nations, the concept of online payment is at its nascent stage. Mass-market customers are unaware of the benefits of using such technologies, which is hindering online financing platform for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) market growth. In addition, payment service providers gather personal data and information about customers to customize target key audiences and advertising messages. However, the indiscriminate use of this data can infringe on user privacy.
Furthermore, location-based services also result in privacy issues as such services operate on the basis of real-time, geo-based information. The data gets collected, processed, and stored by online financing platform for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) market players, which thus remains open to privacy infringement. Thus, such risks make consumers adverse to online transactions and may impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The equity financing segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Equity financing is marketing an ownership interest in a business in exchange for capital. The most basic hurdle in obtaining equity financing is finding investors ready to buy the business. The share of equity financing that a borrower takes has to share management control with the investor appeal of the business. By selling equity interests in the business, the borrower sacrifices some of his autonomy and management rights.

The equity financing segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 4,403.29 million in 2018. The effect of selling a big percentage of the ownership interest of the business may lead to short-term investment unless the borrower retains a majority interest in the business and control over the future sale of the business. Many small business operators are not interested in maintaining their business indefinitely, and their personal motives for pursuing a small business will determine the value position upon business ownership. Thus, it is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.
