Abstract
This academic article aims to investigate problems and solutions in promoting small and medium-sized enterprises from government agencies. The results of the study found 3 problems and solutions for supporting small and medium-sized enterprises: 1) government agencies have different missions that different people do. The business value chain system is not fully coordinated. The solution is a joint planning meeting. The upstream unit transmits information to the midstream unit and subsequently to downstream units to enhance coordination; 2) some small and medium-sized enterprises lack of access to funding sources because of incorrectly accounting systems and file tax payments. This causes financial institutions to refuse to grant loans. The solution is that government agencies should seriously campaign for small and medium-sized enterprises to register into the tax system and reach out to help guarantee loans for strong small and medium-sized enterprises lacking sufficient collateral; and 3) Small and medium-sized enterprises are still unable to adapt or use innovative technology to develop in time with the conditions of products from abroad. The solution is that government agencies taking proactive measures to offer services, guidance, and support for technological innovation aimed at fostering product development within small and medium-sized enterprises.
