The threat

Funding the biggest issue facing SMEs in Nigeria. SMEs contribute 48 percent of national GDP and 84 percent of employment. Invariably, if SMEs fail the economy is going with it. This is the threat.

The crux

After research I discovered this issue was in accessibility, rather than where to sources funds. Some of the factors limiting access are:

  • the expense of acquiring cash are SMEs’.
