Microfinance, defined as the provision of small-scale financial services such as credit, savings, and insurance to low-income individuals, plays a crucial role in empowering rural women by fostering entrepreneurship and economic independence. While prior research has largely focused on its impact on household decision-making and social empowerment, there is limited attention on how microfinance directly influences entrepreneurial success metrics like profitability, business growth, and market reach. This study addresses this gap by examining the impact of microloan size on rural women’s business success and the role of financial literacy and business training in enhancing outcomes. Using secondary data from microfinance institutions, government reports, and academic studies, the research evaluates how financial support translates into sustainable business development. Findings indicate that larger microloans significantly contribute to business expansion and profitability, but their effectiveness is dependent on access to financial education and skill development programs. The study also highlights sectoral differences, with service-based businesses benefiting more from microfinance than agriculture-based enterprises. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for optimizing microfinance interventions, emphasizing the integration of financial literacy programs with financial support to enhance long-term business sustainability. By shifting the focus from general empowerment to measurable entrepreneurial outcomes, this study provides a deeper understanding of microfinance’s role in rural women’s economic success.
