Abstract

This chapter discusses how FinTech—technology-enabled financial solutions and services—can optimize finance strategies of medium-sized enterprises. Using a balance sheet model, the chapter integrates medium-sized companies' financing strategies, working capital management, and investment decisions and discusses FinTech solutions in each area to suggest best practice. Specifically, the chapter first discusses how crowdfunding and its different types could provide alternative financing for medium-sized enterprises. Second, FinTech solutions for online payment and transfer, invoice finance, supply chain finance, and trade finance help medium-sized enterprises optimize their working capital management. Third, blockchain technology and artificial intelligent (AI)-based decisions tools could potentially help medium-sized businesses optimize their decision-making process. This chapter also suggests future work that will allow us to better understand FinTech applications in medium-sized enterprises.
