Abstract
In recent years the government, the universities and the private sector, particularly the financial sector, have leaded their support strategies and dissemination of its services to small and medium enterprises (SME´s) due to the importance of this sector to promote a fast growth of the Colombian economy. Although SME´s have always been important in the Colombian economy, today they are indispensable and are seen as a better option to reach the reactivation of our economy, despite their disadvantages such as lack of managerial skills and financial and commercial experience.

This paper presents the main problems that Colombian SME´s face: international markets, financial situation, source of employment, productivity and competitiveness and, some recommendations addressed to prepare Colombian SME´s to international trade as a desired scenario for development and improvement.
