In-depth consideration of the distinctiveness of small businesses vis-à-vis large companies and their often idiosyncratic approaches to learning reveals real potential for the nurturing of growth-seeking small enterprises to learning organization form. Highlighting that small enterprises are not “little big businesses,” the authors make explicit how understanding of their far-reaching qualitative as well as quantitative features and characteristics is key to effecting their sustained development. Through synthesis of perspective on distinctiveness, best practice small business learning insight, and wider thinking within the entrepreneurial small business learning literature the chapter demonstrates how many small enterprises do possess an embryonic infrastructure of an effective “business learning organization.” The authors produce a tentative conceptualization of the small business as learning organization for use as guiding frame of reference to facilitate the fostering of growth-seeking owner managed micro and small enterprises toward such organizational form.

Purpose. The article aims to formulate criteria and elaborate algorithm for selecting elements of a simplified accounting and reporting system by small enterprises. Method (methodology). In the process of research, method of system approach, method of analysis and synthesis, method of generalization and comparison have been used. Results. It has been established that within the simplified accounting and reporting system its subsystem appeared. This subsystem is created for simplified accounting of incomes and expenses. The main elements of such a system are the Simplified Financial Statement of the Small Business Entity and the accounting registers that are identified by the "Methodological Recommendations for the Application of Small Business Registers" No. 720. They are created without the use of the Account Schedule and double entry. The expediency of using the concept of "simplified accounting and reporting system for non-payment of VAT" has been substantiated. The defining criterion for conduction of simplified accounting of incomes and expenses is the lack of registration of a small enterprise by a VAT payer. The algorithm of the choice of the small business entity for the elements of the simplified accounting and reporting system depending on the taxation system has been developed. The possibility of generating this system of information for calculation of tax, statistical and other forms of reporting has been considered in the research.
