fennia-7965	Haugen, Katarina; Lindgren, Urban	On the importance of forest assets for micro-firm performance	2013	21	.pdf	application/pdf	14010	736	57	Concluding discussion This research set out to explore the importance of the value of forest holdings owned by entrepre- neurs for the economic performance of micro- firms, with a hypothesis that assets stemming from forest ownership benefit firms and provide them with financial stability and resilience to economic fluctuations. Compared to, for instance, entrepreneurs who rely on private housing mortgages as a means to acquire neces- sary capital (Storey 1994; Shane 2003) to self- finance business ventures – which incidentally is the most common financial strategy of entre- preneurs (Shane 2003), presumably particularly in the case of the smallest firms, which rarely rely on external funding (Holmes et al. 2010) – forest owners have additional assets that may be used to this end.	cache/fennia-7965.pdf	txt/fennia-7965.txt
