Regression and Pearson’s correlation techniques are adopted to analyse the financial performance of NBFIs extend the effective benefit to the shareholders and investors to expand business operations and NBFIs asset-based financing to the SME sector and the SMEs contribution to the GDP of Pakistan. Additionally, a sample independent t-test is conducted to find out the difference between the NBFIs total lease disbursement and SME lease financing to SMEs.
