Sector of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is significant in every market economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises are generally considered as an element powering the economy despite the economic slowdown in Poland and turbulences in the economies of Member States of the European Union. Micro-enterprises have the largest share of enterprises belonging to the SME sector - in Poland, they consist of 95.7% of the market (in the European Union - 92.2%). This sector produces a significant portion of GDP and generates numerous workplaces. Their share in the GDP over 5 years remains at similar level and amounts to 48.5%. However, SMEs are often confronted with market imperfections. They have difficulties in obtaining capital or credit, particularly in the start-up phase of the enterprise. Financial resources are their foundation. What is more, they are the basis for the operation of each enterprise. In Poland, there are various possibilities of obtaining financing sources; however, their variety does not imply that all parties have equal access to these resources. Currently, the most important source of funding, in addition to equity capitals, are bank credits. The aim of this paper is to present a credit offer for enterprises beginning an economic activity by selected institutions of the Polish banking sector.
The economic slowdown in Poland, which is mainly a consequence of the ongoing global financial crisis since 2008, exposed Polish firms to the danger of loss of liquidity risk arising among others from the deteriorating financial condition of companies and limited access to short-term finance. It determines not only the proper functioning of any enterprise, but often the ability of surviving on the market. The article presents the results of analyzes of relationship between the dynamics of changes in different types of short-term loans and the gross domestic product. It also presents the most important types of financial crises and the factors that determine them. An attempt was made to present the credit policy of banks to changes in the economic situation in Poland.

Dotacje dla firm są refundacją poniesionych kosztów, co oznacza, że dotacja jest wypłacana dopiero po zakończeniu realizacji projektu i uregulowaniu wszystkich zobowiązań wobec dostawców wynikających z tego tytułu. Takie podejście do tematu połączone z brakiem zaliczek wypłacanych przy zawieraniu umowy o dotację powoduje konieczność zapewnienia środków finansowych na całą inwestycję, czyli wydatków kwalifikowanych i niekwalifikowanych. Zakupy zazwyczaj są finansowane ze środków kredytu bankowego bądź leasingu. Warto nadmienić, że wypłata dotacji jest inna dla każdego z tych przypadków.

The aim of the article is to combine corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the banking sector with the idea of responsible lending. Because CSR concerns stakeholders and borrowers, it may seem obvious that implementation of the two ideas should be parallel. Yet banks, desspite the implementation of CSR, do not act with the idea of responsible lending. By ignoring responsible lending, sometimes banks do a disservice to their borrowers. Examples of banks operating in Poland provide empirical support for this thesis.
