SME Financing Data Initiative
Small Business Financing Profiles is an ongoing series of articles on specific segments of the marketplace and a component of Industry Canada's reporting efforts on SME financing.

Consistent with recommendations in 1999 from the Task Force on the Future of the Canadian Financial Services Sector, the SME Financing Data Initiative is a comprehensive data collection program on SME financing in Canada. In partnership with Statistics Canada and Finance Canada, Industry Canada reports on the supply of, and demand for, small and medium-sized business financing to provide a complete picture of SME financing.

As part of the initiative, Statistics Canada administers a series of national surveys on small and medium-sized enterprises (Survey on Financing of Small and Medium Enterprises) and financial providers (Survey of Suppliers of Business Financing). Industry Canada supplements these surveys with the Credit Conditions Survey and additional research into niche areas of SME financing.

For further information on the SME Financing Data Initiative and access to statistical findings and reports, visit www.sme-fdi.gc.ca. For information regarding the methodology of the Survey on Financing of Small and Medium Enterprises, visit Statistics Canada's website at www.statcan.ca.
