This study used data from 30 respondents of MSEs by survey questionnaires in West Sumatera, Indonesia. The study used simple linear regression model with the access of credit as the dependent variable and performance of business as the independent variable. The results confirm that the performance of MSEs significantly affect accessibility to external finance from banks. The study recommended that both financial and non-financial measures are important in determining access to credit. Therefore, businesses have to improve their resources in order to increase their performance and to improve their accessibility to credit.

A conductive environment should be created for good relationships among stakeholders.]]>
