Abstract: This article analyzes the context of growth of small businesses in the metalworking industry in Lima. There are multiple factors at different levels of analysis that could trigger business growth. Growth from increased employment in companies has responded to the needs of production due to the economic situation of the country. However, this growth has not been stable over time. In addition, sales have varied over time due to price volatility of raw materials and rising inflation, which has not involved an increase in the benefit of businesses. The main source of competitiveness of small companies lies in their specialization, based on their «craft» feature and in a niche market of small size. This means that small businesses have little incentive to internationalize and generate new knowledge. In this context, the role of government is crucial to promote policies articulated to address this complex phenomenon.
