| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigate how small businesses in Japan finance their growth or investment opportunities during the recession period in the late 90's and the recovery period in the early 00's. We show the following results ; 1) small businesses do not face the serious problem of credit squeeze the financial crises during the late 90's, 2) In the recovery period, small business increase trade payables to finance their inventory investment, 3) small businesses cut back on their trade receivables when they face financial tightening. Also, financially distressed firms are more likely to use high interest nonbank loans, 4) financially distressed firms with profitable investment opportunities use less bank loans and trade payables. Instead, they convert notes receivables to cash and use factoring to finance their financial demand.
