Resumo

For economic development it is crucial that companies have sufficient access to financing options. However, in Brazil small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as in other countries, face difficulties in accessing financing supporting investment and growth. The stock market is one of the financing alternatives that is particularly less accessed by small and medium enterprises. In Brazil, there is a great concentration of capital market activity around large companies. Therefore, the access of SMEs to the stock market is still incipient. This study aims to identify the factors that explain the inexpressive participation of small and medium enterprises in the Brazilian stock market, in order to understand the role of law in the development of the capital market. In order to do so, two research methods were adopted: documentary analysis and interviews with majority partners or controlling shareholders, as well as investment fund managers. From the interviews, there were observed many factors that hinder the process of going public by SMEs and the investment in those companies. These factors confirm the results verified in other studies on the subject and also show new elements that influence the studied research question. Thus, the conclusion of the research is that the main factors that explain the inexpressive participation of small and medium enterprises in the stock market, from the perspective of issuers are: (i) costs of listing and maintenance (ii) fear of losing the control of the company; (ii) resistance to the entry of new shareholders; (iv) resistance to comply with disclosure rules; (v) resistance to adopt practices of professional management. From the perspective of investors, the main difficulties are: (i) low liquidity in the secondary market; (ii) resistance to the implementation of governance practices; (iii) lack of information on small and medium enterprises; (iv) high interest rates; (v) higher investment risk.
