The article analyzes the role and place of small businesses and entrepreneurship in the development of the national economy, considers the problems of providing employment to the population, the share of small businesses in the context of economic sectors, innovative development, and examines the practice of supporting this industry with various financial instruments.The share of small businesses in the GDP of our republic in recent years (2013-2022) has decreased by 9.1 percent, the volume of added value created by them in 2022 amounted to 114,524.9 billion soums, which is almost 1.4 times more than in 2013 (Fig. 1).In fact, it has been proven that private enterprise is more efficient than public enterprise.Now, without confusing the concept of "private property" with the concept of "enterprises based on non-state ownership," it is necessary to ensure the priority of private property in the economy, support it and guarantee its inviolability.
