A solution to this problem is the design of public policies that allow labour costs on a scale according to the size of the company. This can be considered a weakness that can be converted into a fortress with a change of vision of managers and owners of SMEs. In addition, deemed adverse to the SME environment is not only macroeconomic. Its operations are obstacles in deficiencies in services that surround it.

One of the most pressing needs of small and medium-sized businesses is financing. Private banks prefer to lend to large companies, because the costs of processing and supervise few but large loans are lower than for small and numerous loans. In addition, SME loans rates are higher, as a reflection of the greater perceived risk and the poor and costly operations of Venezuelan banks. The SME does not have, in the majority of cases, financial or tax planning strategies, and its management systems are poor, what constitutes another obstacle to access to bank credit. Not all strengths is weakness, because through its operation more in those that remain in the markets that have conquered a part of them, indicates that they are strengths that is worth considering them and determine their scope in order to give way to strategic plans who can exploit and make some competitive advantages. Shown, that their capacity to employ little skilled manpower, during the initial phases of the processes of industrialization, turns them into factors of social stability.
