This research investigates the dual impact of developed investment and informal costs on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It explores how investment in fixed assets, human resources, and research and development (R&D), alongside informal expenditures, influences business outcomes. The study aims to develop a model for assessing these impacts, distinguishing between short-term and long-term effects, and to propose actionable recommendations for both SMEs and governmental bodies to foster a more conducive business environment. The research focuses on SMEs in the manufacturing sector within Nghe An province, Vietnam, employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The findings suggest that while developed investment may show limited or negative short-term effects, it contributes positively to long-term business development. Conversely, informal costs are found to have a negative impact on SME performance in the long run.
