Recital 13
(13) One of the greatest challenges of the cultural and creative sectors, especially small operators including non-profit organisations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises, is their difficulty accessing the funds they need to finance their activities, grow, maintain their competitiveness or internationalise. While this is a common challenge for SMEthese operators in general, the situation is significantly more difficult in the cultural and creative sectors due to the intangible nature of many of their assets, the prototype profile of their activities, the lack of investment-readiness of the operators in the sectors as well as the insufficient investor-readiness of financial institutions.
