This study aims to analyze the components of financial inclusion and its relationship with business growth in manufacturing microenterprises in Bogota for the 2012-2016 period. For this purpose, the "Annual Survey of Micro Establishments" provided by DANE is used. In a first phase, a comprehensive literature review is conducted to identify both the advantages and disadvantages associated with the various aspects of financial inclusion for microenterprises. Subsequently, a detailed comparison is made of the different components of financial inclusion that were used by microenterprises in the manufacturing sector in Bogota during the period analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the business growth of these microenterprises and the implementation of financial inclusion components during the study period is evaluated. This analysis is carried out through a linear panel data model with random effects. As a result, a series of recommendations are presented based on the findings obtained.
