“…Katua (2014) argues that the government should open up institutions specifically to support the training of entrepreneurs that would offer them relevant skills that would improve the performance of SMEs. Sempala and Mukoki (2018) observe that there is a need to train enterprise owners, managers, and other operators in order to equip them with the relevant skills and knowledge specially those tailored towards impacting various business management practices. Eton, Okello-Obura, Mwosi, Ogwel, and Ongia (2019) argue that training institutions should strengthen the information and communication technology training programs by aligning them to the required job demands as dictated in the field of business.…”

The growth and failure of small and medium enterprises has been a topic of discussions world over among policymakers and researchers. This study was guided by the following objectives: to examine the contributions of small medium enterprises (SMEs), to determine the challenges affecting small medium enterprises, to examine how financial inclusiveness supports the growth of small medium enterprises, and to establish the relationship between financial inclusion and growth of small medium enterprises. The study used a cross-sectional research design. Descriptive design was used and supplemented by inferential statistics. Correlation and regression analysis were adopted. The study revealed that financial inclusion is significant in supporting SME growth. The study further also revealed that the cost of acquiring and servicing financial services is high; there is also difficulty in using some of the financial services, and the way financial providers treat financial users, some lacked some degree of respect and dignity. The study recommends that financial providers should continue sensitizing the public on the available financial services beyond credit services, which are common and known. Digital financial service providers should encourage their clientele to use digitalized financial services which are cheap, secure, and risk averse. The cost of capital should also be reduced to encourage borrowing while SMEs should innovatively produce goods that can be competitive at both domestic and international markets.

“…On the contrary, MSE contribute 90% to employment, 20% to GDP and 32% to export earnings as observed by Ssempala et al (2018). They further assert that there is some set back in the growth and development of MSE, and consequently, the contributions of MSE to GDP in Uganda is low (at 33%), to employment (at 45% and export (44%) is low compared to other countries.…”

Micro and Small-Scale Enterprises (MSE) are important in almost all developing economies in the world, characterized by unemployment, import dependency and income distribution challenges. Establishing Micro and Small-Scale Enterprises (MSE) is not blowing pressure through a basket; rather it is about having innovations, inventions and sharing ideas. It takes more than what we think about an idea of establishing a startup. It is significantly important that excellent planning and management of the available resources is critical for start-up success. We look forward to discussing about availability and performance of MSE.

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are still an interesting academic and policy-related subject to study and understand the dynamics of the small business. There are a couple of studies which investigate the determinates of MSMEs growth by adopting personal approach (ownership characteristics) and managerial approach (managerial characteristics/strategy related). The present article is aimed to explore the several challenges faced by the MSMEs in order to have access of financial resources where the finance is said to be the oxygen of any organisation. The variables considered for the study are size of the business, type of ownership of the business and type of business. The study is restricted to only Guntur and Krishna districts of Andhra Pradesh, India. To attain the objectives of the study, we intend to make use of primary and secondary data. Data purifier tests are being used in the study to know the suitability of the data for analysis. The linear assumption, normality assumption, multicollinearity assumption and homoscedasticity assumption are used under regression analysis. The results indicate that there is a strong relationship between size of the business and accessibility of the firm. It means that the size of the business has a positive impact over the availability of financial resources for the business. The moderate impact could be found between type of ownership and accessibility of financial resources whilst the same pattern exhibited in between type of business and availability of financial resources. It could be concluded that the size of the firm provide leverage for the accessibility of financial resources, and thereby this intact acts an insulator for the growth of MSMEs in a great extent comparatively the rest of the two.
