The growing concern of Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is dependent on their profitability. SMEs go out of business within 5 years of operation and often it is due to a lack or limited finance caused by non-accessibility and affordability of finance. The research was conducted using twelve commercial banks in Cameroon. This research adopted a quantitative research method. It was directed at examining the influence of financial inclusion (FI) on the profitability of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs): a case study of commercial banks in Cameroon where out of 15 commercial banks operating in Cameroon, 12 were chosen by random sampling for this study which was restructured into panel data. The study contains secondary data collected from the year 2010 to 2021. The data was majorly collected from yearly reports of those selected commercial banks in Cameroon. The study revealed that only one hypothesis (positive effect of the total asset as a financial inclusion on net income as the profitability of SMEs) out of four developed (from the number of bank ATMs, number of bank branches, total asset as well as the net interest margin) during the course of this study was supported. It was discovered that financial inclusion assumes a significant part in the profitability of SMEs. Keywords: Financial Inclusion; Net income; Profitability of SMEs; Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
