effect of entrepreneurial networking on the
relationship between access to finance and
performance of MSEs in Punjab, Pakistan.

with the help of a questionnaire adapted from
the past studies. The reliability of the
instrument that was used to collect data was
ensured through Cronbach’s alpha and
composite reliability. After ensuring the
reliability of instrument, structural equation
modeling was conducted by using PLS-3.
The results of the study supported the
arguments raised in the study that there is a
positive relationship between access to
finance and performance of MSEs in Punjab,
Pakistan. The results also supported the
argument of moderating effect of
entrepreneurial networking on therelationship between access to finance and
