Subject. Methodological foundations for the development of types of entrepreneurial-oriented regions of Russia based on indicators of the functioning of small business. Objectives. To create a reproducible methodology that allows identifying the types of regions of the Russian Federation for targeting government support measures for small businesses. Methods. Systems, comparative, and statistical analyses, typologization, index method and normalization, methods of graphical and tabular data visualization, as well as the author-developed methodology for constructing a typology of entrepreneurial-oriented regions of Russia were used. Results. Testing of the methodology showed a logical distribution: highly developed regions (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Leningrad Oblasts, Novosibirsk and Rostov Oblasts, Krasnodar Krai, etc.) are characterized by a high density of small businesses and turnover; industrial clusters (the Republics of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan, Sverdlovsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Chelyabinsk Oblasts, etc.) – a high proportion of manufacturing sectors and gross value added; growth regions (Voronezh, Kaluga, Vologda Oblasts, Primorsky Krai, etc.) demonstrate positive dynamics; resource-tourism regions (Republic of Crimea, Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, Kamchatka Krai, Sakhalin Oblast, etc.) – seasonality and high gross value added with low processing volumes; weak regions (republics Ingushetia, Tyva, Altai, etc.) – low numbers of small business workers. Conclusions. The methodology provides an operational typologization with practical application: differentiation of support measures, prioritization of investments and monitoring of effectiveness. To improve the accuracy of the proposed typologization methodology, it is recommended to include qualitative indicators, expert verification of "mixed" cases, and regular updating of data.
