The studyprovides empirical evidence and puts forward an explanatory model of the influence of the mutual creditguarantees on the financing of SMEs. Using data obtained from the MCGS, for the CAE （economic activity） 412（construction of buildings, which is the sector with the greatest number of companies seeking this type of financing） and the SABI database （system for analysis of Iberian financial statements）, a multiple regressionmodel was made, studying the impact that mutual guarantees have in the financial structure of the SMEs. The results obtained show that LTD financing is positively influenced by the guarantees provided by the MCGS to SMEs as it allows greater debt capacity, especially in the medium and long term, for firms that usually cannotobtain this type of financing. The results also suggest that this type of guarantees creates an environment of confidence among all stakeholders involved, showing that both in terms of overall capital structure and in terms of erely financial credit, the response from the explanatory variables in the models was consistent with the beginning xpectations, that the financial gap has been reduced with the contribution of mutual guarantees in the fnancingprocess.展开更多
