PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF FINANCING SMALL BUSINESS FIRMS IN NIGERIA: A STUDY OF APC LIMITED
Abstract
Small Business firms play a crucial role in the economic development of a nation-state. Financing these firms has been the major canker-worm that serves as a cog in the wheel of progress of the Establishments. It is against this background that this study is set to probe the remote and immediate cause of finance problems in Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Nigeria with a view of making useful suggestions and recommendations that would solve the identified problems. To do justice to this topic, Government’s Policies and Programmes for the development of SMEs were critically reviewed. In addition, an in-depth study was conducted on a contemporary Company. Furthermore, elaborate interpretations and analyses of the Company’s financial statements were carried out with the aid of Financial Ratios and graphical representations. Three hypotheses were tested and it was confirmed that finance serves as the live-wire of a business enterprise which can make or mar the progress of such establishment. Future researchers on the topic were advised to increase the population samples. Finally, Government’s pragmatic fiscal and monetary policies were sought for adequate finance of SMEs. It is hoped that with prudent use of available funds at SMEs, Nigerian Government would be able to achieve its policy thrusts of self reliance and economic development.
