Support in the Russian Federation of entrepreneurship, oriented in its activities to the implementation of the principles of the Islamic economy, despite the enormous potential in ensuring economic growth and the well-being of citizens, is practically absent, as is such entrepreneurship itself. There are some similarities with the support of small and medium-sized businesses, and significant differences caused by the peculiarities of the origin and the procedure for providing financial resources, adherence to religious and ideological postulates and dogmas. It is necessary to transfer financial support for such entrepreneurship from the banking sector to the sector of the real economy, track the sources of funds origin, and implement special legislative measures for the provision of support.
The purpose of the study is to determine, within the framework of state support for small and medium-sized businesses, acceptable measures of state support for entrepreneurship, oriented in its activities to the implementation of the principles of the Islamic economy.
Research methods - analysis of statistical information, regulatory documents governing the support of small and medium-sized businesses, information on the Internet, synthesis of the results and conclusions of the study.
