Abstract

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the minimization of the social cost due to the insolvency by improving the success rate of the startups by providing useful information to the founders and the start-up support institutions through analysis of non-financial information affecting the failure of the startups. This study is aimed at entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs that are defined by the credit guarantee institutions generally refer to entrepreneurs within 5 years of establishment. The data used in the study are sampled from the companies that were supported by the start-up guarantee from January 2014 to December 2013 as the end of December 2017. The total number of sampled firms is 2,826, 2,267 companies (80.2%), and 559 non-performing companies (19.8%). The non-financial information of the entrepreneur was divided into the entrepreneur characteristics information, the entrepreneur characteristics information, the entrepreneur asset information and the entrepreneur 's credit information, and cross-tabulations and logistic regression analysis were conducted. As a result of cross-tabulations, univariate analysis showed that personal credit rating, presence in the industry, presence of residential housing, presence of employees, and presence of financial statements were selected as significant variables. As a result of the logistic regression analysis, three variables such as personal credit rating, occupation in the industry, and presence of residential house were found to be important factors affecting the failure of founding companies. This result shows the importance of entrepreneur 's personal credibility and experience and entrepreneur' s assets in business management. The start-up support institutions should reflect these results in the entrepreneur 's credit evaluation system, and the entrepreneurs need training on the importance of the personal credit and the management plan in the entrepreneurial education. The results of this analysis will contribute to the minimization of the incapacity of startups by providing useful non-financial information to founders and start-up support organizations.

본 연구의 목적은 창업기업의 부실에 영향을 미치는 비재무정보 분석을 통해 창업자와 창업지원기관에게 유용한 정보를 제공하여 창업기업의 성공률을 높여 기업부실로 인한 사회적 비용을 최소화하는데 기여하고자 한다. 본 연구는 창업기업을 대상으로 하고 있으며 신용보증기관에서 정의하고 있는 창업기업은 일반적으로 설립 5년이내 기업을 말한다. 연구에 사용된 자료는 2014년 1월부터 12월말까지 창업보증을 지원받은 기업중 2017년 12월말 기준으로 정상기업과 부실기업으로 구분하여 표본을 추출하였으며, 전체 표본기업의 수는 2,826개이며 정상기업 2,267개 (80.2%), 부실기업 559개 (19.8%)이다. 창업기업의 비재무정보를 창업자 특성정보, 창업기업 특성정보, 창업기업 자산정보, 창업기업 신용정보로 구분하여 교차분석과 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 단변량분석인 교차분석 결과 개인신용등급, 동업계종사유무, 거주주택보유유무, 종업원보유유무, 재무제표보유유무가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다, 교차분석 결과 선정된 변수를 대상으로 다변량분석인 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 개인신용등급, 동업계종사유무, 거주주택보유유무 등 3개 변수가 창업기업의 부실에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 기업경영에 있어 창업자의 개인신용과 경험, 창업기업의 자산의 중요성을 알 수 있었다. 창업지원기관은 이러한 결과를 창업기업 신용평가시스템에 반영하여야 할 것이며, 창업자는 창업교육시 개인신용의 중요성과 관리방안에 대한 연수가 필요하다. 이와 같은 분석결과는 창업자와 창업지원기관에게 유용한 비재무정보를 제공하여 창업기업의 부실을 최소화하는데 기여할 것이다.
