Sažetak
Small and medium-sized enterprises make up the vast majority of companies in Croatia and the European Union, thus entire economies depend on their success. Capital is necessary to finance growth and development, and companies can acquire it from various sources. The paper explores similarities between Croatia and the EU regarding the perception of the importance and use of several selected sources of financing before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was shown that retained earnings, proceeds from the sale of assets and debt securities are used more in Croatia, and trade credits in the EU. The pandemic has influenced the greater use of grants and subsidized loans, especially in the EU.
