▼ Entrepreneur financial literacy has been identified as one of the major competencies required for the establishment and management of microenterprises. However, empirical studies on the relationship between financial literacy and microenterprise performance have produced contradictory and inconsistent results and conclusions, hence the need for further research in this area. This study sought to establish the relationship between entrepreneur financial literacy, financial access, transaction costs and performance of microenterprises in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study was guided by five objectives namely; to establish the relationship between entrepreneur financial literacy and performance of microenterprises; to determine the relationship between entrepreneur financial literacy and financial access; to establish the influence of financial access on the relationship between financial literacy and performance of microenterprises; to assess the influence of transaction costs on the relationship between financial literacy and the performance of microenterprises and to determine the joint influence of entrepreneur financial literacy, financial access and transaction costs on the performance of microenterprises. To achieve these objectives, five research hypotheses were formulated. A cross-section design was adopted for the study. The study population comprised of all microenterprises in Nairobi County, from which a representative sample of 396 microenterprises was drawn. The main study instrument was a questionnaire which comprised of likert-type scale questions on the main variables of the study. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypothesis testing was done by use of regression and correlation analysis. The findings of the study indicated that entrepreneur financial literacy had a statistically significant influence on enterprise performance therefore the hypothesis that financial literacy influences enterprise performance was supported. The study also established that financial literacy had a statistically significant influence on financial access therefore the hypothesis that financial literacy influences financial access was supported. The study also revealed that intervening influence of financial access on the relationship between entrepreneur financial literacy and performance microenterprises was statistically significant. Further, the results revealed that transaction costs had a statistically significant moderating influence on the relationship between entrepreneur financial literacy and performance of microenterprises. Finally, the study established that the joint influence of entrepreneur financial literacy, financial access, and transaction cost is statistically significant. This implies that the study variables jointly predict enterprise performance. The study recognizes that the variables used for this study are not exhaustive and therefore suggests that future research should include more triangulation utilizing other intervening and…

▼ This study was designed to assess the contribution of public TVET on strengthen micro and small enterprises. It also addressed the role of TVET and MSE for economic empowerments of MSE operators’. A sample of 177 MSE operators engaged in 5 sectors were taken using stratified sampling, 66 TVET trainers were taken using simple random sampling and 7 deans of TVET institutes and 4 head of MSE offices at woreda and sub-city were taken using purposive sampling techniques. In the process of answering the basic questions, a questionnaire that include demographic profiles, the type of supports that MSE operators acquired from TVET institutes, the role of TVET and MSE for economic empowerments of its operators, and the types of challenges that MSE operators faced were designed in a closed ended, open ended and likert scales. Moreover, interviews were held with deans of TVET institutes, head of MSE offices from three woredas and Sub-City and the observation was also carried out based on the checklist. After the data has been collected, it was analyzed using simple statistical techniques (tables and percentages) and descriptive statistics (mean) supported by SPSS soft ware version 20. The findings of the study revealed that, even though TVETs provide technology, machine maintenance, technical skill training supports, there were poor support in the areas of machine maintenance services, marketing training and financial plan and report preparation related trainings. The findings further show as Micro and small enterprises in the study area playing a vital role in covering expense demands of the operators and creating employment opportunities for unemployed as well as for students who quit and completed their education at different levels. However, MSE operators are facing various challenges that could affect their sustainable contributions to overall benefits. These includes: capital constraints, inadequate skills, development trainings, and inadequate machine maintenance services provided to the MSE operators by the TVET institutes. Based on the major findings, recommendations were forwarded to MSEs offices, operators, TVET institutes, TVET agency and other concerning government organs.

▼ SMEs are generally undercapitalised, suggesting major operational difficulties in accessing credit and pursuing corporate goals. The Baseline Survey (2000) showed that only six percent of SMEs successfully applied for and used credit. It is unclear how the rest who form the majority, meet their working capital and investment'needs. Enterprises that successfully sought out credit received very modest amounts, probably reflecting the level of activities in which the enterprises are involved (Kimuyu & Omiti, 2000).The extent to which entrepreneurs in Kenya can actually benefit from the utilization of this potential and the factors that influence the adoption of this potential has been unclear. As such, the main purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of credit on growth of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Nairobi. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for data analysis. Quantitative methods of data analysis such as use of percentages and frequencies were employed in this research. Information was presented in the form of tables and Pie Charts. Growth to be analyzed for the purpose of this study was limited to a period of time that is from 1990 to date. The analysis focused on the changes in following variables: - assets in an enterprise, turnover, investments, outlets and branches. These variables were used to establish generalizations or facts in achieving the objective of the study, which was to determine the impact of credit financing on the growth of the SMEs sector in Kenya. v From the study findings most of the businesses were getting credit from financial institutions as banks have been presented as a reliable source of finance for most businesses. Further the study found micro finance institutions to have been readily available and to have high level of credit. From the study findings most of the businesses were being financed by micro Finance institutions as compared to other commercial banks. The study in its recommendations noted the need for borrowers to be educated on credit usage and how to make repayments so as to maintain their creditworthiness. The micro finance should adopt a reducing balance mode of repayment in order to attract more borrowers. For the vision 2030 to become a reality and poverty eradication to achieve its goals, credit has to be made available to finance the required areas of investment.

▼ The primary objective of this study was to investigate the perceptions on the role of locally owned small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in the economic development of Rustenburg, South Africa. The study was motivated by theoretical findings that SMMEs are the cornerstone of economic development; yet, the levels of unemployment and poverty were still escalating in Rustenburg. This prompted the researcher to investigate the perceptions on the role of locally owned small, medium and micro enterprises in the economic development of Rustenburg, South Africa, and the extent of their contribution. The study adopted a descriptive research design and a quantitative approach to determine the role of SMMEs and the extent of their contribution to the economic development of Rustenburg. The study focused on Rustenburg, which had 223 registered SMMEs at the time. The registered 213 SMMEs were identified as the target population of the study, and 10 registered SMMEs participated in the pilot study. A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. Two hundred and thirteen (213) copies of questionnaires were self-administered. One hundred and eighty-two (182) completed questionnaires were returned, which represented an 85% response rate. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data by utilising the Statistical Analysis Software (SAS). Statistical techniques used in this study comprised frequency analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation test, and Tukey’s studentised range test. Empirical findings revealed that SMMEs play a significant role in contributing to the economic development, employment generation and poverty reduction of Rustenburg, with SMMEs in the mining sector making a greater and more significant contribution than other sectors. The study concluded that SMMEs perform a critical role in contributing to the economic development of Rustenburg, especially those in the mining sector. Recommendations were that government should consider increasing the development programmes for SMMEs that operate in Rustenburg, invest in SMMEs’ technology and provide practical SMMEs development training. In addition, government should provide sufficient funding for SMMEs and improve the regulatory framework that governs the SMME sector. This particular study focused on SMMEs operating in Rustenburg. Another study could be conducted on foreign-owned SMMEs. Advisors/Committee Members: Nani, Gwendoline Vusumuzi (advisor).

▼ This study was conducted to investigate how MSEs get financial sources at establishment and in operation in Gulelle Sub-City, by investigating the sub city’s MSEs. A descriptive case study was employed to achieve the objectives of the study. In order to get relevant data from the target populations both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. So, instruments which were used to collect the data from the sample subjects were questionnaire for MSEs as a major tool and focus group discussion for officials in Gulelle Sub-City as a supportive tool. 100 MSEs were covered to be the subjects of the study and other participants of focus group discussion. The data collected via questionnaires were analyzed using frequencies then converted to percentage values and qualitative method of data analysis were performed to the data collected through focus group discussion. Both the qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed together to triangulate the results found from the questionnaire. The findings of the study generally indicated that people starting MSEs are facing numerous difficulties both at start-up and while in due course of operation. The study indicated that lack of sufficient capital is the main problem of businesses at start-up followed by input access constraints and obstacles from government rules and regulations. Similar to the start-up MSEs face numerous problems after start-up like poor market and market information, lack of working capital, and price or shortage of supply of raw materials are the most once. The study also indicated that the main financial sources for start-up and expansion or working capital of MSEs came from personal savings and family support. Owners find it very difficult to access credit from banks due to lack of collaterals and the loans provided by MFIs are small with a short repayment period and high interest rates. The study also shows that the main financial difficulties/challenges that most MSEs encountered are inability to expand operations, lack of proper credit facilities, and price escalation (boom) of raw materials. Finally, the study presented some possible recommendations so as to alleviate the problems. ____________________________________ Key Words: Financial Sources, Micro and Small Enterprises Advisors/Committee Members: Fesseha Afewerk (Ast.

▼ The aim of this research is to provide analysis of the rural non-farm sector in Nigeria by investigating inter-linkages between farm and non-farm activities. By critical analysis using quantitative and qualitative research methods to investigate farm and non-farm sectors, the research attempts to reveal the complex linkages between these activities undertaken by rural households. The analysis employs household surveys aimed at collecting primary data undertaken to investigate various aspects of rural livelihoods including sources of income, employment, diversification and determinants of household income. The research provides analysis of Rural Micro and Small Enterprises (RMSEs) in the non-farm sector. It investigates the sources of rural livelihoods, which are primarily based on farming activities. However, farming in this area is still carried out by about 80 percent of households in a traditional subsistence system with crude implements and in scattered plots of about 2.0 hectares or less. This subsistence farming system has resulted in increasing changes in decision making, along with dynamic processes of socio-economic and cultural changes including assets and resources which households depend on for their survival. Diversification of income activities has become an important aspect of rural livelihoods due to continued low agricultural income and output. Non-farm income activities have the potential to reduce rising rural unemployment, providing more income opportunities for young people, women and other vulnerable groups. It can provide capital for investment in child education, home improvement, asset formation and on-farm innovation or expansion. This research argues for an integrated approach towards rural development and poverty reduction through the promotion of both agriculture and non-agricultural sectors. Analysis of household income structure and determinants indicate that non-farm income accounts for about 44% of total household income and non-farm income has become an important source of capital for on-farm and off-farm investment. Ownership of non-farm enterprise, household labour force, level of education, age, farm size (land), financial capital (level of savings) and access to basic infrastructure are the main determinants of household income. Using disaggregated and distributional data the study found variations in effect of the various factors on household income on different groups of households.

In recent times, enhancing small-scale enterprises have been viewed as an effective way of fostering the private sector s contribution to the economic development of a nation. Small-scale enterprises play a key role in the industrialization of a developing country like India. The survival and success of a firm mainly depends on the business environment existing in the State or country where it exists. There seems to be an agreement among researchers that the more conducive the business environment, the more likely new business will emerge and grow. The State of Kerala has a very high HDI and excellent standard of living. But Kerala s industrial sector, especially the micro and small-scale manufacturing sector, has not been performing well for a quite long period of time. If Keralites can be more entrepreneurial in other States or countries than in Kerala, the reason should be attributed to the prevailing business environment in Kerala and not to the venturesome or lethargic character of Keralites. In this context, an investigation was conducted in the State of Kerala to determine the impact of different business environmental factors on the micro and small- scale manufacturing enterprises. The study identified the main problems in the functional areas of production, marketing, finance and human resource management. The study identified the impact of micro environmental factors upon the functioning of micro and small manufacturing enterprises. The impact of factors connected with the customers, the public, the marketing intermediaries and the regulatory agencies was found as favourable. But the impact of the competitors, the suppliers and the financiers was found as unfavourable to the entrepreneurial community. The collective impact of seven micro environmental factors is favourable to the entrepreneurial community. As per t test analysis, there is no significant difference between micro enterprises and small-scale enterprises regarding the overall positive impact of micro business environmental factors.

▼ This study aimed to investigate factors affecting the participation of women-owned MSEs in the manufacturing sector in two selected sub-cities of Addis Ababa, namely, Kolfe Keranio and Nefas Silk Lafto sub-cities and to explore and gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences and participation of women who own MSEs in the manufacturing sector as well as government entities that support these MSEs. The study adopted a qualitative, exploratory research approach. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data from women who participated in the manufacturing sector, government officials, MSEs experts in the sub-cities and gender office professionals who worked closely with women’s MSEs in the manufacturing sector. Besides, direct observation was used to get firsthand information concerning the nature of women-owned MSEs and their working environments such as limited working space, lack of warehouses, and physical constraints relating to the use of stairs in storeyed buildings, among others. Document review and secondary data were used to triangulate the results from the interviews and obtain quantifiable data that could be used to clarify certain issues in the study. The data were analyzed using thematic data analysis to identify how the theme related to the research objectives. The researcher used a table to visualize the coded themes to determine which was the major problem, support, and characteristics of women-owned MSEs. The study revealed that women have limited education levels and skills. It is thus difficult for women who own MSEs to exploit advantages or opportunities to expand their business. The findings also reported the inability to access finance for MSEs start-ups and expansion. Women generally lacked information regarding various aspects of MSEs during the establishment of their businesses. Women-owned MSEs have received some support, particularly from government agencies. However, the support they are currently receiving is inadequate to enable them to transform their business. Women-owned MSEs still face problems on many fronts including workspace, limited finance, outdated technology, poor marketing strategies were among others that need addressing. To develop women-owned MSEs and empower other women in the field, the government, the public sector, and formal financial institutes should be informed on the value of gender-balanced contribution in the informal sector enterprises. It is recommended that there should be a greater focus on the social and economic empowerment of women, as they constitute a vulnerable social category that is critical in development endeavors.

▼ Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar a relação entre a composição da alta administração (aberta ou fechada) e a proatividade (posturas proativa e reativa) para a internacionalização nas micro e pequenas empresas. Foram utilizadas para medir a composição da alta adminsitração a escala já validada de Gubitta e Gianechinni (2002) e para medir o posicionamento quanto a internacionalização foi utilizada a escala também validade de Arranz e Arroyabe (2009), que trata da postura de internacionalização como reativa e proativa. Para isso, foi feita uma foi feita uma pesquisa com métodos mistos, sendo realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa com 41 micro e pequenas empresas brasileiras e uma pesquisa qualitativa com três estudos de casos. Os resultados mostraram que: a) as empresas com a composição da alta administração aberta possuem maior nível de postura proativa para a internacionalização do que as empresas com composição fechada e que não há diferenças entre empresas com a composição da alta administração aberta e fechada com relação à postura reativa para a internacionalização, b) a presença de membros externos na alta administração faz com que a empresa tenha uma visão do todo mais ampla e diferenciada c) os motivos levavam essas empresas a não se internacionalizarem, apesar de sua postura proativa com relação à internacionalização, foram: porte da empresa; o custo para internacionalização; o cambio; a supervalorização da moeda; a questão estrutural da empresa; a resistência à mudança; a necessidade de crescer e se destacar internamente antes de crescer internacionalmente; falta de incentivo governamental; o foco nacional; a rotina interna da empresa; e, a dificuldade de deslocamento. Levando-se em conta as limitações do estudo, foi possível concluir que a relação entre composição da alta administração e proatividade em internacionalização existe e que quanto mais membros externos na alta administração, maior vai ser o nível de proatividade da empresa. Ainda, conclui-se que para as empresas que possuem maior nível de reatividade à internacionalização a composição da alta administração ser aberta ou fechada não interfere, pois tanto as empresas com composição fechada como as com composição aberta, tem de reagir ao ambiente onde estão inseridas para sua própria sobrevivência.

▼ Micro, Small and Medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) represent 99.9% of businesses in the UK and they face significant challenges with regards to start-up, survival and growth. Their ability to deal with these challenges is assisted, in some cases, by the provision of business support funded by the public sector. Unfortunately, despite the volume of such businesses, there remains a significant lack of qualitative data into the MSME sector, and their use of university led business support. This thesis examined the business support agenda, the support needs of MSMEs, the role of universities in the provision of business support, and the needs of public funding bodies, with regards to economic sustainability and growth in the West Midlands. The choice to focus on the West Midlands region was largely pragmatic; the researcher has existing relationships with the small business community and University networks within the region allowing for a comparable study of stakeholders with similar environmental, political and economical challenges. Whilst the findings are therefore in relation to the West Midlands region, they have been compared to secondary data and theoretical frameworks in order to propose a contribution, which is applicable to a wider audience. The thesis adopted an exploratory, interpretivist methodology with an emphasis on the practical importance of the research results. Through an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach, surveys were used to collect data from MSME business owners, followed by in-depth interviews with university staff in order to produce institutional case studies. The surveys with MSME owners identified a need for support that was free, local, face-to-face and delivered by an organisation with a good reputation for delivering business support. The survey data also indicated confusion amongst MSME owners about the availability of support from universities, as well as questions around the quality of support provided by universities and its impact. The interviews, and case studies, revealed a significant level of interest, and a feeling of responsibility, from universities towards supporting the MSME community. However there were consistent challenges around funding, sustainability, resources, flexibility of delivery, and the longevity of any enterprise strategy. The research makes a useful contribution to knowledge through the development of multiple case studies and the development of a conceptual framework for a sustainable system of university led, MSME business support. The model, and analysis, considers the detailed experiences, challenges and opportunities from the stakeholders and proposed a sustainable support system. This contribution to literature provides a unique perspective for both practical application and for the research community to utilise further.

Este trabalho procura entender um pouco mais e discutir, partindo dos dados disponíveis do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), através de sua pesquisa de economia informal urbana (ECINF) gerada em 2003 (ultima disponível), aspectos ligados à informalidade, crescimento e uso do crédito. Procura explorar, neste contexto, aspectos relevantes ao crescimento e continuidade da micro e pequena empresa. Para atingir este objetivo, procura-se entender inicialmente conceitos sobre estes aspectos (informalidade, crescimento e uso de crédito) e suas características, e através de dados secundários e com o uso de software estatístico, procurar entender as suas relações, através de ANOVA e regressões, bem como optimal scaling contribuindo para o conhecimento deste cenário. Os dados levantandos e comparados com a teoria apontam as relações entre empregador e trabalhador por conta própria indicando dos fatores adotados no estudo quais mais contribuem e os que indicam pouca contribuição dentro deste contexto. Em conclusões acena para uma tendência onde o individamento através do uso de crédito tende a gerar um maior crescimento até um determinado ponto e a partir desta inflecção tende a dificultar a atividade bem como acena dificultar a formalização.(AU)

▼ In Addis Ababa as in many cities of the developing countries, solid waste micro and small enterprises are involved in solid waste management services and generating employment opportunities for urban labor force since 1998/1999. This research is mainly emphasizing the management and job creation role that the involving MSEs can play in solid waste services. In order to achieve the objective of the study, a social survey with a questionnaire covering a total population of 37 enterprises and a sample of 80 workers was conducted on two purposely selected sub-cities, i.e. Bole and Arada. The survey indicated that MSEs to do solid waste activity with limited start-up capital, traditionally made labor-intensive working tools and workers with only few health protective materials. Joblessness and Capability for physical work are the major criterion for employment. The results of the research in general showed that over three fourths of the MSEs participated in primary solid waste collection using hand pushcarts up to the municipal transfer points through door to door collection system. Entrepreneurial activities in sorting, compost processing and recycling are less developed though it is encouraging. MSEs are involved in solid waste activity with the method of open-competition and zonal monopoly and have personal relations to clients in terms of contracts and payment of service charges. Lack of working tools and shortage of finance are the two major constraints for the operation and growth of MSEs. Some financial support for entry in the activity depends on the social network of friendship and relatives rather than formal financial institutions. Most of the MSE operators started solid waste activity without any training but attracted by it as a survival strategy. Generally there is a need for strengthening the MSEs growth by expanding the micro- finance institutions and providing especial financial support for the solid waste sector. Government and NGOs support should also be focused on training and consultancy services or in general informative services concerning market, documentation or accounting system. Encouraging public-private partnership with medium-scale enterprises to reduce the problem of ix waste transporting and disposal is one of the main issues to be focused. In addition, government (municipal) partial intervention on the method of MSEs participation should be based on an objective assessment of the reality to minimize the conflict that arises between the new entrants and existing MSEs in case of unnecessary competition to be the sector effective. There is also a need for the government to negotiate with the MSEs owners to ensure employees get at least the minimum wage of the country.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the SMMEs in the area of rural UMzimkhulu Municipality do access funding from the banking institutions as well as other funding organisations, government and agencies. This research looked at the challenges they have in accessing the funding for both start-ups and business development. The research method used was qualitative and interviews conducted from a sample of SMMEs in UMzimkhulu. These challenges are viewed as possible reasons why most SMMEs are failing as a result of financial difficulties and therefore should be investigated. This kind of situation persists despite the available support by government who developed policies and strategies for support. As a result of these policies, development bodies such as DTI, SEDA and Khula enterprises and other government departments (Economic Development) in the provinces and locally (LED) to assist and give support to SMMEs. It is intended that the study of SMME challenges in relation to finance access will provide recommendations to improve their livelihood and life cycle of these businesses. The research findings highlight some of the challenges for SMMEs such as those of being unable to provide some of the requirements of funding bodies. Furthermore, the funding bodies were found to favour those businesses that were already doing well over smaller, fledgling or struggling businesses which required funding to continue their operations. The research also found that most SMMEs do not access funding that is available because they do not know of the funding available from government agencies and also because the offices for these institutions are based in big cities far away from them. The findings from this research can be used to assist in policy development and turn-around strategies in the funding of the SMME sector. It will also potentially contribute towards addressing the challenges faced by SMMEs in other rural areas as it will reflect challenges not only in UMzimkhulu but also similar rural areas. The research also highlights the recommendations and scope for further research. Advisors/Committee Members: Houghton, Jennifer. (advisor).

▼ This study investigates the role business information plays in the performance and poverty reduction of micro and small entrepreneurs in Kariobangi. The study considers micro and small entrepreneurs in Kariobangi, Nairobi, as agents of poverty reduction. The study has used International Labour Organization (ILO, 2002) definition of micro and small enterprises as “those economic entities that are characterized by ease of access; dependence on native resources; family possession; small scale of operation; use of adapted technology and skills obtained outside the conventional educational system; and not moderated and competitive markets” (ILO, 2002). The micro and small entrepreneurs in Kariobangi operate in business environments that have limited relevant business information on credit, business location, customers, price, markets, technology, government policy and regulations, and support services. This situation motivated this survey to investigate the potential influence of business information on micro and small entrepreneurs as agents for poverty reduction. It has done this by examining how the use of different types of business information, networks, preferred media and other demographics influence poverty reduction. Mugande (2003)” the study uses both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Due to the absence of an official list of micro and small entrepreneurs in the study area”, the researcher constructed own sample population using a list of 1436 enterprises supported by some churches in Kariobangi as a baseline. A simple random sample of 144 entrepreneurs, proportionately drawn from the four clusters in the study area, was selected for the survey. Research assistants, who were mainly young people from Kariobangi, were recruited and trained to pre-test and administer the structured questionnaires under the supervision of the researcher. The survey was followed by detailed case studies of ten entrepreneurs purposively selected using a matrix of variables from the poverty category. The filled questionnaires were cleaned, coded and then entered into a computer database. “Analysis of quantitative data using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences proceeded in stages, starting with the generation of descriptive statistics of some of the variables” (Mugande 2003). Further tests of correlation between dependent and independent variables were also done. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews of the cases were content analysed. The study has found that access and use of business information enabled micro and small entrepreneurs to graduate out of the poverty category. In particular, entrepreneurs who accessed and used different types of business information, networks, preferred media and demographics shared information were able to perform well and exit from poverty. Besides recording improved income, this category of entrepreneurs were able to access better health care, housing, safe water and education for their household. Notably, the main sources of business information were the family unit,…

▼ Micro-finance refers to small scale financial services such as cash loans, money transfers, direct deposits, savings, and insurance made accessible primarily to the poor. Micro enterprises can be defined as those enterprises employing up to 10 workers (including the owner) and small enterprises as those employing more than 10 up to 15 workers. The research was aimed at investigating the impact of micro-finance credit on the financial performance of SMEs in Kenya. The study was carried out in Nairobi region targeting SMEs in service industry, manufacturing sector, trade and food processing industries. The research found out that as SMEs grow they require funds to finance growth in fixed asset and increase working capital. SMEs therefore require long-term credit in ever increasing amounts so that they can purchase raw materials, supplies and carry out activities that they need to facilitate the production process. From the study findings it was concluded that, access of credit by SMEs from MFIs greatly influences their performance. The conclusion is supported by the results from the various descriptive statistics. The descriptive statistics on net profit indicate that the net profit after access of credit from MFIs was more than the net profit before access of credit. This is attributed to the increased working capital of the SMEs and expansion of business operations. These findings have implications for management of MFIs to ensure that policies are instituted to facilitate easy access of loans by SMEs from MFIs. Management of MFIs should therefore, among other things come up with policies which can help those with no collaterals but good ideas to access credit from MFIs, encourage personal service delivery, provide financial advisory services to individual proprietors when advancing credit to them, lower lending rates while improving service delivery and train people on risk management and financial management. The Government should also regulate MFIs to ensure that the SMEs are not exploited by MFIs.
