Small businesses face numerous challenges in maintaining financial stability due to limited resources, market volatility, and insufficient managerial expertise. These issues often manifest in inadequate cash flow management, restricted access to financing, poor financial planning, and vulnerability to external shocks. This thesis explores the main problems hindering financial stability in small businesses and proposes practical solutions to address them. Strategies such as improving financial literacy, diversifying revenue streams, adopting modern technologies, implementing cost control measures, and strengthening risk management are discussed as essential approaches to enhance resilience, ensure profitability, and sustain long-term growth.
