摘要
This paper shows that the probability of small business firms obtaining outside financing to support their research and development projects is greater given more complex commercial opportunities - defined as a greater number of different potential applications for a project's anticipated results - for their innovations. The effects on the probability of outside finance found for other factors are consistent with the earlier findings in the literature about innovative entrepreneurial firms.
