Abstract
En 中文
Factoring in SMEs has emerged as a key financial mechanism by allowing the transfer of invoices in exchange for immediate liquidity. Nevertheless, despite its relevance, research gaps remain that justify a rigorous bibliometric analysis. The aim of this study was to identify the main trends, leading scholars, and research gaps in factoring literature applied to SMEs. Following the PRISMA-2020 methodology, publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed. Results showed a thematic evolution towards topics such as Cash Conversion Efficiency, Supply Chain Finance, Entrepreneurship, Resource Usage, and Machine Learning, with prominent references including Demirguc-Kunt A. and Beck T., and leading publications in the Journal of Banking and Finance. In addition, the keyword analysis highlighted emerging concepts such as SMEs, Risk Management, Blockchain, and Reverse Factoring. The study concludes that research gaps remain concerning innovation, environmental sustainability, and the adoption of emerging technologies, as well as the need to explore regional differences. These findings provide a solid foundation for guiding future research and practical applications in SME financing.
