Strategische Sicherung des Fremdkapitalzugangs durch eine vertrauensvolle Bankbeziehung

Die vorliegende empirische Untersuchung uberpruft den Einfluss von Vertrauen auf die nachhaltige Sicherung des Fremdkapitalzugangs. Basierend auf einer Befragung von Unternehmern in der Schweiz unterstutzt der Hypothesentest den vermuteten positiven Einfluss von Vertrauen auf die zukunftige Finanzierungsbereitschaft der Bank. Mittels einer empirischen Triangulation konnte dieses Resultat durch eine Befragung von Kundenbetreuern bestatigt werden. Dies legt den Schluss nahe, dass nicht die Beziehungsdauer, sondern das Vertrauen des Kundenbetreuers sowie seine branchenspezifische Erfahrung die Sicherung des Fremdkapitalzugangs der KMU wesentlich bestimmen. Es ist somit anzunehmen, dass eine KMU bei gegebener Bonitat und Sicherheiten ihren Zugang zur nachhaltigen Bankfinanzierung durch beziehungsbezogene Faktoren positiv beeinflussen. / This study empirically examines wherever trust in a bank-to-SME relationship supports sustainable credit availability. The results of a survey of entrepreneurs in Switzerland support the hypothesis that mutual trust between the SME and bank improves sustainable credit availability. This finding was confirmed by a triangulation survey of account managers. It is concluded that not the duration of a relationship but the account manager’s level of trust and his industry-specific experience determine the SME debt securing significantly. It is therefore likely that an SME with a given credit rating and collateral affect their access to sustainable bank financing through positive relationship-related factors.
