Abstract
This research studied the effect of character, capacity and collateral on the likelihood of
loan approval for SMEs. A theoretical framework was developed to test character,
capacity and collateral as critical success factors for likelihood of loan approval. There
were three variables in the proposed model that is character, capacity and collateral
together with credit experience as moderator variable. Hypotheses were tested with
respondents received from loan creditor's inclusive commercial bank, CGC and SME
Bank. It was found out that all variables had a significant effect on the likelihood of the
loan to be approved by the bank from the credit officer perspective.
