* SMEs unaware of standards
* Costly and arduous process
* Market structure and contractual agreement
* Online access and support on certifications costs
* On the topic of access to adequate financing - SMEs need more innovative financing like equity funding. Important that they don't get caught in a debt trap. So not just debt financing.
* best way to support SMEs from the private sector, is to help grow from an SME to a QSE.
