Summary: This paper analyzes the impacts of global financial and economic crisis of 2008 that hit heavily the economies of countries in general, especially Brazil. Investigate what were the causes and the consequences for businesses, especially small business. Demonstrates that many countries have negative growth because of lack of confidence and strong credit crunch, a result of the insolvency of many banks and financial institutions, becoming worse with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15 that year and soon after with the insurer AIG. Highlights that the big companies in the mortgage industry, automotive, construction, were the hardest hit, with major slowdown in its activities. Also, small firms - foreign firms and small-EPP was also strongly affected, leading to high unemployment in the industry and significant increase in crashes. We conclude that this moment of crisis, not yet fully extinguished, with the tax issue in the countries of the eurozone, insurrections in the Arab countries, governments should pay special attention to this business segment by adopting policies that minimize their impacts aiming their preservation and, in consideration of their relevant social role, representing 98.8% of the enterprise segment and 60% of the manpower employed regularly.
