  Using the econometric models, this paper addresses the ability of Albanian
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to identify the risks they face. To
write this paper, we studied SMEs operating in the Gjirokastra region. First,
qualitative data gathered through a questionnaire was used. Next, the 5-level
Likert scale was used to measure it. Finally, the data was processed through
statistical software SPSS version 21, using the binary logistic regression
model, which reveals the probability of occurrence of an event when all
independent variables are included. Logistic regression is an integral part of
a category of statistical models, which are called General Linear Models.
Logistic regression is used to analyze problems in which one or more
independent variables interfere, which influences the dichotomous dependent
variable. In such cases, the latter is seen as the random variable and is
dependent on them. To evaluate whether Albanian SMEs can identify risks, we
analyzed the factors that SMEs perceive as directly affecting the risks they
face. At the end of the paper, we conclude that Albanian SMEs can identify risk
