As part of the methodology, we used the theoretical revision of the key concepts proposed by several actors, the importance, and the applied technique was the survey. For this, a sample of 121 SMEs belonging to the National Chamber of Aquaculture of Ecuador was considered. The work contributes to the presentation and analysis of internationalization as the main means for SMEs to flourish in an increasingly competitive and globalized world and to contribute to the employment of the economy in which they operate. It was concluded that companies do not know the benefits of internationalization through the theory of resources and capabilities. However, if SMEs agree internationalization is a strategic alternative for their business growth.
