Abstract

The article concerns the problems of the black market and financial services offered to entrepreneurs. It is a quite poorly explored area of economics, which, because of its specificity, requires very meticulous research methods. Entrepreneurs conducting their activities have in virtually every country the opportunity to take loans to black. It is widely known that lending to black is the better, if you can easily gain funds and if the creative accounting is possible, and the penalties in this respect are small. The authors tried to prove the thesis that there is a potential demand for illegal loans in the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises that can be implemented in case of fulfilment of business risks and growing funding gap of small and medium-sized enterprises in the economy. The article presents the results of their own painstaking research on a sample of 609 companies.
