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.
Survey for finance providers - including investors
This survey aims to identify the key challenges investors and finance providers face in finding and assessing potential European SMEs and start-ups investment targets, particularly in a cross-border context.
