Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a distinctive formula (framework) for micro-enterprise success. As the success of micro-enterprise is under debate from many decades, however, the researchers and entrepreneurs are unable to find the unique factor to develop a comprehensive framework.
 Design/Methodology/Approach: The current study is based on conceptual framework. Prior studies are used to develop the framework and hypothesis. Moreover, conclusion is based on literature review.
 Findings: It is investigated that, microfinance factors (i.e., micro-credit and micro-training) has a positive relationship with micro-enterprise success. However, among all other microfinance factors (i.e., micro-saving, micro-insurance, social capital), micro-credit and micro-training have relatively higher effect on microenterprise performance followed by a level of education. Moreover, it is found that education mediates the relation between microfinance factors and micro-enterprise success.
 Implications/Originality/Value: This study contributed to the body of knowledge by developing a micro-enterprise success formula for researchers and entrepreneurs, which ultimately improve the performance of micro-enterprises. Hence, the current study is beneficial for microfinance institutions and other practitioners to enhance micro-enterprise success.
