| Аннотация | In order for the Russian economy to become “stable and dynamic”, as it is stated in one of Russia’s national goals, it is necessary to search for economic growth sources. Microenterprises may become one of them; this type of business is most widespread, although not enough research is devoted to its research. The key reason that impedes the development of microenterprises is the barrier that makes it difficult for them to move into another category. Only 3% of actors are able to overcome the barrier of increasing administrative burden, and grow from micro- to small enterprises. The consequences are the problems of artificially slowing growth, non-payment of taxes and fragmentation of business. The aim of the research is to empirically identify and develop a typology of microenterprise growth groups in the regions of Russia based on their overcoming the barrier to transition to small business, and to assess regional and sectoral differences for national and regional economic growth. Using the methods of text mining and content analysis of foreign and Russian publications, we introduce the term “administrative barrier to the growth of small and midsize enterprises”. To understand the scale of the problem, we create a typology of microenterprises, which includes four growth groups: those who did not approach the barrier, those who approached it, those who were close to the barrier, and those who overcame it. The provisions of our paper are of theoretical importance and can contribute to the evolutionary theory of company growth. For an empirical assessment, we analyze an extensive unique database on the growth of 63,674 microenterprises from the SPARK service (all industries and constituent entities of the Russian Federation over a five-year period). Scientific novelty consists in our methodological approach that makes it possible for the first time to establish the number of microenterprises whose growth slowed down due to the transition barrier. Correlation analysis methods have confirmed the hypothesis about the increased ability of microenterprises in the manufacturing industry to overcome the transition barrier. The acquired knowledge raises scientific and governmental awareness of the importance of growing microenterprises’ development. Practical significance of the methodology consists in identifying microenterprises with growth potential from a large array of microenterprises in the region and also in forecasting barriers to development. It is necessary to put forward scientifically substantiated prerequisites for overcoming barriers, and to take them into account in the emerging policy aimed to support growing microenterprises as a priority category
