How SMEs Grow in Mexico: Financing, Risk & Opportunities — with Rodrigo Correa, Grupo CAPEM

In this episode, we sit down with Rodrigo Correa, co-founder of Grupo CAPEM, a financial firm focused on funding and growing small and medium-sized businesses in Mexico. We dive into the vital role SMEs play in the Mexican economy — making up 98% of the country's companies and generating most of its jobs — and why, despite their importance, they face enormous barriers to accessing capital. Rodrigo breaks down how SME financing works, why traditional banks fail to serve this segment efficiently, and how access to capital can be the catalyst that allows a business to grow, expand, and survive in a challenging economic environment.
