| Abstract | The financing of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a problem that has been discussed in practice and science for a long time. The information asymmetry between capital providers and capital borrowers was identified as one of the main difficulties. Supply chain finance provides solutions that can reduce this information asymmetry and offers instruments for the acquisition of working capital beyond traditional bank credit. The contribution shows the current state of supply chain finance in relation to SMEs and proposes an agent-based approach to minimize the capital costs of the supply chain. The aim of the agent-based model is to support the negotiations between the capital demanding company and the capital-providing companies, considering the information asymmetry between external and internal supply chain actors. To implement the model, a multi-agent system has been set up to support negotiations on financing options. An agent-based model consisting of three components is proposed, which automatically supports a capital demander in identifying the most favorable financing option for the supply chain. The potential of the use of multi-agent systems in supply chain finance is shown. Especially for SMEs there is a chance to overcome the difficulty of information asymmetry by working closely together through the instrument of the supply chain finance to finance projects that are favourable for the entire supply chain. |
