Abstract
The article discusses issues of financial support for small and medium-sized businesses in the state: preferential lending, subsidies, leasing. The main objective of financial and credit support for small and medium-sized businesses is to increase investment volumes. The development of alternative sources of investment (microcredit organizations and credit partnerships), maximum attraction of private investment resources, and the introduction of progressive forms of investment policy will make it possible to financially support small and medium-sized businesses in the country. The importance of using public-private partnerships to ensure the sustainable development of SMEs is considered as a mechanism to increase labor productivity and stimulate growth in agriculture, infrastructure projects, education and medicine. Special attention is paid to new forms of financing, such as public-private partnerships, crowdfunding, and crowdinvesting.
