Abstract In recent years, the supply chain finance based on the supply chain network has become an effective way for SMEs to solve financing difficulties. From the network perspective, this paper constructs a theoretical model of SMEs’ strong ties and bridge ties in supply chain network affecting financing quality through information sharing. Through the statistical analysis of 255 survey data, we find that: strong ties and bridge ties of SMEs in supply chain network have positive impacts on financing quality; information sharing plays a mediating role between the network ties of SMEs in the supply chain network and financing quality; environmental competitiveness has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the information sharing of SMEs and their supply chain financing quality.
