The issues related to access to financing are central to debates worldwide, especially in Africa. This article aims to analyze the effects of access to financing on the performance of female small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Republic of Congo. To achieve this, we used primary data from 11,105 businesses from the “Recensement” (census) of very small, small and medium enterprises and self-employed workers, conducted by the “Institut nationale de la statistique” (INS, 2017) of the Republic of Congo in 2017. The estimates are based on the instrumental variables two-stage least squares method. The results obtained show that access to financing is a favourable factor for the performance of female businesses in the Congo and lead to recommendations of economic policy for inclusion, training, and incentive.
