The Survey on Financing of Small and Medium Enterprises - 2004, surveyed 34,509 enterprises between September 2004 and March 2005. The estimates were generated from the responses obtained from 13,042 SMEs (enterprises that had a gross revenue of less than $50 million, had less than 500 full-time-equivalent employees and were operational even for a very short time during the reference year), rendering a response rate (percentage of in-scope businesses) of 45 percent. The estimates related to Part 2 of the survey were generated from responses to a paper questionnaire obtained from 3,500 SMEs.
