- Abstract
- The primary purpose of the study was to scientifically analyze the critical contributions made by small businesses to Zimbabwean economic development and poverty reduction. The study was primarily aimed at SMEs in Harare Province, with a sample of 50 registered SMEs employing at least 5 people employed. The researcher gave the responder a questionnaire, as well as telephone interviews and documentary analysis, and the material retrieved from it was correctly reviewed to prove that small enterprises and economic growth are favorably associated. According to the findings from the studied SMEs, the average revenue produced was over the food and basic poverty thresholds. Gender, degree of education, motivations for starting a business, initial money sources, and technology employed by business owners were discovered to have a significant impact on employment creation and profit margins. Furthermore, there is a considerable negative association between the presence of poverty, the proliferation of small businesses, and economic growth. As a result, the empirical conclusion verifies the link between small company, economic progress, and the incidence of poverty.
