This study focuses on the design of a GPT-based system for relatively rapid technology credit assessment of SMEs. This system addresses the limitations of traditional time-consuming evaluation methods and proposes a GPT-based model to comprehensively evaluate the technological capabilities of SMEs. This model fine-tunes the GPT model to perform fast technical credit assessment on SME-specific text data. Also, It presents a system that automates technical credit evaluation of SMEs using GPT and LLM-based chatbot technology. This system relatively shortens the time required for technology credit evaluation of small and medium-sized enterprises compared to existing methods. This model quickly assesses the reliability of the technology in terms of usability of the base model.

This paper explores the key factors influencing the business performance of enterprises, specifically women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. The extant literature on factors affecting the business performance of women-owned SMEs in Vietnam is still quite scarce. The researchers used a self-administered questionnaire to achieve a sample of 265 female SME owners in Vietnam to find these factors. The obtained data was analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. Cronbach's α test and factor analysis have been carried out to test the reliability of data and validate the hypothesis. The results showed that these enterprises' performances had a significant positive relationship with the business management competencies of the directors of the business, quality of human resources, financial access, socio-cultural factors, and government policy. Also, the study showed no relationship between the enterprise's business network and business performance. The results suggest that female business owners should improve their business management capacity, focusing on training activities to improve the quality of human resources of enterprises.
