Authors : Massinissa Ameziane . Touat Othmane .

Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of crowdfunding as a catalyst for financial inclusion, with a particular focus on its impact on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Through a theoretical analysis of the state of financial inclusion of SMEs in the MENA region, this article illustrates how crowdfunding acts as a game-changer for SMEs. The study reveals that crowdfunding serves as a powerful tool in dismantling barriers that have traditionally hindered SMEs from accessing essential financing by reducing transaction costs and streamlining documentation requirements.
