The presented study touches upon two groups of problems that significantly affect the development of the Russian economy. The first of them is the creation of conditions for the expansion and formation of small business, which, in particular, is a priority area of one of the national projects. The second problem is the establishment of relations of interfirm trust in the domestic business environment, which is in demand in various sectors of the economy and has become, for example, the dominant topic of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Hence, the paper aims to form, on the basis of trust relations, a model of interaction between small enterprises and banks, which makes it easier to obtain loans. The object of the paper is intercorporate (B2B) trust, and the subject is the improvement of relationships between small businesses and banks on the basis of trust. The methodological basis of the study is an integral approach that combines both institutional and sociological views on the phenomenon of trust, and the traditional economic analysis of the relationship between banks and their clients, small enterprises. The analysis showed, on the one hand, the complexity of the relationship between banks and small enterprises, and on the other hand, the prospects of these clients for banks. There was also demonstrated the role of the B2B trust as a tool for establishing steady mutually beneficial contacts of the subjects under consideration. The author concluded that the model of partnership between small enterprises and banks, based on the establishment of relations of trust between the parties, will stimulate investment processes in small business and support its development. The study presents the organizational solutions for the establishment of the proposed model.

This paper explores the impact of privatization on the efficiency growth of enterprises in two transitional countries, which did not follow the same privatization model. The aim of this research is to analyze the effects of privatization on micro and macroeconomic indicators. Research will be based on ten-year time-series analysis, using both financial and other indicators. Particular emphasis will be placed on efficiency and profitability growth by analyzing separately large, medium, and small enterprises. The expressed hypotheses, which will be tested through statistical data analysis, are related to the statement that the privatization model utilized did not contribute to the efficiency of the entire economy. However, it did contribute to the efficiency of particular segments of enterprises. The second hypothesis is that the recent growth of small business efficiency will decrease while medium and large enterprise efficiency will increase. Finally, the third hypothesis is related to the impact of enterprise performance in ten years period on macroeconomic indicators. The development of small business in both countries in the early years of transition will be examined. During this time of period, small businesses tended to experience more efficiency growth than other enterprises. However, there currently appears to be a shift in efficiency and profitability growth to medium and large enterprises. Therefore, another aim of this research is to determine what factors may have caused these differences and lead to the opinion about future efficiency growth in countries in transition.

The basic principles of formation and normative-legal regulation of the organization of the account of subjects of small business in Ukraine are considered. The formation and development of small business in Ukraine is detailed in the dynamics, in accordance with current regulations for the period 1991-2021. It is established that the formation of small business in Ukraine, in particular legal entities of small businesses have certain features. Such features of the formation and development of private enterprises are associated with certain legal conflicts that arise in the formation of small businesses and their operation. The study of the activities of a private enterprise in modern business conditions has led to a study to assess the impact of structural factors on the volume of sales. It is proved that small businesses with no assortment of products are exposed to seasonal factors. There are different approaches to the choice of a system of statistical indicators to assess the structural changes in output in the dynamics. The expediency of application of the index method, in particular seasonality indices for the purpose of measurement of influence of seasonal fluctuations on volume of realization of production (works, services) is confirmed. The algorithm for estimating seasonal components for the volume of sales, in particular water, is determined. The seasonal wave of sales of products by a small business entity is presented graphically. The rhythm and seasonal fluctuations of sales of products by a small enterprise are estimated according to the quarterly dynamics by the method of offset taking into account rhythmic deliveries. The system of indicators is calculated on the basis of seasonality indices: amplitude of fluctuations; linear and standard deviation to measure the effect of seasonal fluctuations. Effective methods of improving the analysis of small businesses are proposed.

The Impact

This study examines the impact of a regional bank merger in Japan on borrowing by small businesses, focusing on firms that borrow from the acquiring bank, the acquired bank, or both. First, we find that post-merger borrowing costs declined. This result suggests that small borrowers enjoy more favorable post-merger financing conditions because efficiencies from economies of scale lead to lower costs. Second, we<strong> </strong>find that post-merger borrowing costs decline for firms that borrow only from the acquiring or acquired bank, whereas they did not decline for firms that borrow from both. Third, we find that only small business loans to firms that borrow from both the acquiring and acquired banks decrease post-merger. This result suggests that small business lending might decline because of a merged bank’s loan portfolio and lending strategy.
