To achieve this objective, primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 384 micro and small-scale enterprise owners/managers. A multiple linear regression model was applied for data analysis.

Based on the major findings of the study, expansion of credit services, provision of training, development of infrastructure and provision of workplace were recommended.
