Abstract
This research was conducted to establish whether venture capital could reliably serve as a source of finance for SMEs given that there is a problem of access to finance in Namibia. This is important because SMEs in Namibia are generally in dire need of finance. Evidence therefore shows that venture capital as a source of finance serves as an ideal type of instrument for the development of SMEs internationally. The study assessed the importance of venture capital financing in the context of the SMEs in Namibia, specifically focusing on addressing the problem of lack of much needed capital and skills to the SME sector. The second objective was to assess whether venture capital financing can be effectively utilised to enhance managerial skills within SMEs in Namibia.
