AB  - The success determinants of Portuguese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are examined
using a sample of 207 Portuguese firms from several industries listed in the Dun & Bradstreet
database that are at least five years old and with ten or more employees. The empirical study is
based on the Lussier (1995) success versus failure prediction model. Our results do not fully
support the international research on the determinants of SMEs’ success. The determinants of
Portuguese SMEs’ success are: capital, record-keeping and financial control, planning,
professional advice, age of owner, and marketing skills. Using logistic regression, the model
adequately fits the data, and accurately predicts 43.4 percent of the failed businesses and 87.0
percent of the successful businesses for an overall accuracy rate of 73.2 percent.
