The article “Economic Security of Small Agricultural Enterprises” aims at exploring the theoretical foundations of economic security for small agricultural enterprises. The basic approaches to definition of the category "economic security of the enterprise" are investigated. The theoretical bases of the definition of "economic security" are considered. The integration of Ukraine into the global economic space implies the modernization of the modern financial and economic system, which envisages the transition of market entities to a new level of relations and the leveling of traditional geographical boundaries. At the same time, the conditions of functioning of enterprises in a market environment become more stringent due to the expansion of the range of probable threats and dangers, which increase the risk level of conducting business activities, increasing uncertainty, and increasing competition. It is economic security that can provide the enterprise with effective functioning, economic stability, development and improvement of its competitiveness level. The main purpose of this work is to research and analyze the major achievements of economic science in the economic security of a small business and to present the author's vision of the essence of this concept. The set of research methods is the methodology of analysis and organization of major publications, legislation and laws, namely methods of generalization, comparison, chronologization, analysis and generalization. The author's vision of interpreting the concept of "economic security of enterprises" is a scientific novelty. The practical value of the study is to analyze the main publications on the definition of the essence of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise”, because today there is no single approach that would clearly interpret this concept.

In today’s economic realities, achieving the necessary level of financial security of enterprises is a prerequisite for ensuring their sustainable operation and the formation of competitive development parameters in the internal and external market environment. The effectiveness of this process depends on building a high-quality financial architecture as the basic structural element of the company’s financial security system. In this regard, the subject of the study is an analysis of existing theoretical approaches to the definition of financial architecture and its relationship with the financial security of the enterprise. The methodological basis of the research is the scientific development of domestic and foreign scientists, the fundamental theoretical positions of economic science in the field of financial architecture formation, financial risk management, and financial security of the enterprise. The purpose of the article is to study the essence of financial architecture in order to substantiate its determining influence on the financial security of the enterprise and ensure its sustainable functioning in an unstable development of economic processes. The article analyses the theoretical aspects of financial architecture and finds that the interpretation of this economic category is due to the existence of clear causal relationships between its constituent elements and their impact on the financial support. Proceeding from this, the definition of financial architecture is drawn as a set of interconnected structural elements such as capital structure, ownership structure and quality of corporate governance, which accumulate and mobilize financial resources, increase control over the activity of the enterprise, solve conflicts of interest between owners and other stakeholders. It is determined that the choice of principles and methods for constructing financial architecture depends on such financial interests of economic entities as forming a flexible financial potential, optimizing the structure of capital, increasing investment attractiveness, maximizing profits, and increasing the market value of the enterprise. It is proved that the result of building a flexible financial architecture is to provide the appropriate level of financial security of an enterprise by identifying, quantifying, neutralizing, minimizing, and monitoring its financial risks. It is proposed to systematize indicators of financial security level assessment on the most typical of its functional components, among which investment, credit, emission, innovation, and currency can be distinguished. It has been established that ensuring the appropriate level of financial security will contribute to achieving financial sustainability, forming qualitative financial potential, providing competitive advantages, harmonizing interests of economic entities, and creating an effective system of economic security of the enterprise. It is concluded that the construction of high-quality financial architecture is the basis of financial security of an enterprise, the level of which depends on the proper management of financial risks and ensuring an adequate level of safety of all its functional components. As a criterion for the effectiveness of the process of ensuring the financial security of the company, sustainable development of the enterprise was determined in the conditions of an unstable economic environment.

The article discusses the existing approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "economic security of the enterprise" and conducts a retrospective analysis of conceptual approaches to the definition of this concept, identifies the main functional components of the economic security of enterprises adequate to modern realities. Particular attention is required to the issues of economic security of agricultural enterprises, the specific nature of which requires the establishment of a mechanism of double adaptation to economic and climatic conditions. It is noted that the economic security system of an enterprise is a subject and a control object and requires: a description of the control object, formalization of the goals of the control object existence, determination of the set of criteria for managing the object, design and creation of a control system that can minimize losses and provide protection against internal and external threats. The economic security system of an enterprise should be considered as a structured set of interconnected elements of external and internal security entities, their functionality, economic security policies, organizational structure, strategies and tactics, principles and methods aimed at ensuring the functioning of the enterprise and capable of countering internal and external threats.

Based on the analysis of provisions of economic science, this article characterizes the state of national economy from the perspective of protectability from negative activities of various origin. In most works the emphasis is placed on its diametrically opposite states – secure and dangerous; but there are also borderline states of conditionally secure and pseudo-secure, which do not receive due attention in the scientific publications. In this regard, the goal is to eliminate the terminological gap that exists in economic science, substantiated by the absence of approaches towards demarcation of these states, by decomposing the definition of “economic pseudo-security”. The result of the conducted research consists in explication of the term “economic pseudo-security” based on specification of attributive features as pseudo-dynamism, pseudo-sustainability, and pseudo-protectability. The inner content of each of the aforementioned criteria is described through their distinctive features. These acquired results are aimed at broadening of theoretical provisions of economic science and systematization of knowledge on the economic security. Usage of separate parameters of pseudo-security would allow the subject of protection, i. e. the state, promptly responding to alternation of the course of socioeconomic processes on macro- and micro-levels in order to prevent the development of borderline states of national economy and their possible later transition into the dangerous.

The process of functioning of Ukrainian enterprises is accompanied by the emergence and significant influence of a significant number of factors, without a timely and adequate response to which survival is impossible. The system of economic security in the conditions of each enterprise should be focused on detection, identification and tracking of change of influence of the basic factors not only internal, but also external environment. Under such conditions, the relevance of the application of holistic management of economic security of the enterprise increases. The aim of the study was to form the theoretical basis for the application of holistic management of economic security of the enterprise by clarifying the essence of the concepts of "security", "danger", "challenge", "risk" and "threat". To form the theoretical foundations of the application of holistic management of economic security of the enterprise used methods: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization - in the study of the essential characteristics of the terms "security", "danger", "challenge", "risk" "threat"; synthesis and analysis - to outline the tasks of security entities to address internal and external challenges, risks and threats; morphological analysis - to prove the need for security assessment on the vertical of economic security; abstract-logical - for theoretical generalizations and conclusions of the study. The definition of holistic management of economic security of the enterprise is formed under which it is offered to understand activity directed on creation of optimum conditions of functioning and development of the enterprise by acceptance and realization of administrative decisions proceeding from integrity of perception and forecasting of dynamics of internal economic processes, availability of resource and organizational support and interaction with external security actors. The essence of such concepts as "security", "danger", "challenge", "risk", "threat" is specified, and also interrelations and priority tasks for subjects of safety are defined. Requirements for the construction of information and analytical system, which should be focused on identifying factors influencing the level of EBP, by:tracking changes in the level of security not only in general, but also in terms of the main functional components (financial, personnel, technical and technological, information, force) with further detection, identification and assessment of the dynamics of challenges, risks and threats; systematic monitoring of the level of security along the vertical of economic security, ie the state, region, industry, enterprise and individual.
