This article examines the mechanisms of financing small businesses and attracting investments.
It analyzes theoretical approaches to small business financing, including internal and external funding sources,
and highlights the role of financial institutions, government support programs, and private investors in improving
access to investment resources. The study also explores the key factors influencing investment attractiveness,
such as the business environment, risk level, profitability, and legal frameworks. Special attention is given to
modern financial instruments and strategies that enhance capital inflows into the small business sector. The
findings emphasize that effective financing mechanisms are essential for the sustainable development and
competitiveness of small enterprises
