Purpose: Consideringthe importance of the internationalization of micro and small enterprises(MSEs) for the national economic growth, this study was conducted in order todetermine the possible impact of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO)on export intention in MSEs through the moderating effect of access to finance. Methodology: This research consists of a survey of 150 agriculture farm owners fromNepal conducted in January 2020. The researchers used SmartPLS as a researchtool to analyse the data. Results: Theresults of this study indicate that out of five dimensions of IEO, onlyautonomy has a positive significant effect on export intention, whereas accessto finance had no moderating role in the effect of IEO on export intention. Conclusion: Overall,this study provides profound insight about IEO in the context of a lessdeveloped country like Nepal and also sheds light on Nepalese farm owners’ IEOand their intention to export.
