Environmental Sanitation Finance Corporation Act

...(1) Financial support measures for small and medium-sized enterprises (see the section on "Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Finance") consist of the financial system and its supplements. The main financial institutions are the Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Corporation (Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Corporation Act, promulgated in 1953), which is a fully government-funded financial institution, the National Finance Corporation (National Finance Corporation Act, promulgated in 1949), and the Shoko Chukin Bank (established in 1936), which is semi-publicly funded and semi-privately funded. They provide special loans for equipment capital, long-term operating capital, and operating capital to small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, there is the Environmental Sanitation Finance Corporation (Environmental Sanitation Finance Corporation Act, promulgated in 1967), which provides equipment capital loans to environmental sanitation-related businesses. To supplement loans from financial institutions, there is the Small and Medium Enterprise Strengthening Fund Subsidy System, which provides loans to small and medium enterprises to rationalize and modernize their management in response to the instability of their management caused by the expansion of large companies such as large stores and the decline in subcontract production. As a credit supplementation system, there is a guarantee system provided by 52 credit guarantee associations nationwide (Credit Guarantee Association Act promulgated in 1953), supported by the insurance business and loans of the Small and Medium Enterprise Credit Insurance Corporation (Small and Medium Enterprise Credit Insurance Act promulgated in 1950).
