Take Part in EFRAG’s New Surveys on Financing Needs and Cross-Border Investments in SMEs and Start-Ups

EFRAG is inviting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups and finance providers across the EU to share their views on the challenges of securing and providing investment.

As part of its assessment requested by the European Commission, EFRAG has launched two short surveys – each designed to take less than five minutes to complete - to understand both sides of the financing landscape. The deadline to provide feedback is 17 November 2025.

Survey for SMEs and Start-Ups

This survey focuses on the needs and obstacles SMEs and start-ups face in securing finance, including any difficulties with cross-border funding opportunities.
