Sumario:Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have difficulties in accessing external finance and this is an important restriction to the growth of this type of firms. The government as a provider of public policies, mitigate these limitations. Although there are many papers that evaluate the impact of public policies on the performance of SMEs, the objective of this paper is to analyse the effect of these policies in relation to their territorial distribution. For this purpose, incidence, location and distribution indicators are presented, and they are applied to a subsidized credit bank called Productive Force Program for the period 2008-2013 in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentine. The results show that the PFP promotes territorial equity, while there are deconcentrating results in all de the indicators.
