Abstract
While it is generally accepted that small-scale
industries have a very vital role in the economic and
industrial development of any nation, yet the financing of
these industries especially in a developing country like
Nigeria; and a newly created Bauchi State in particular,
has always been difficult.
The objective of this study is to investigate the
various sources of finance for these industries, and the
specific objective is analyse the roles played by
institutional sources and pinpoint problems associated
with them.
In this study the importance of small-scale industries
have been discussed. But particular attention is given to
industries in Bauchi State, where various facets of their
operations such as types of ownership, nature of business,
sources of finance, market, current problems facing them
and a host of other issues have been fully diagbnised through
a questionnaire analysis.
The inherent problems associated with these industries
are small-amount of capital, poor management and inability
to present viable projects to financial institutions for
assistance.
On the basis of the above factors a conclusion that, the
small-scale industries not only lacked sufficient access to
institutional finance but also lacked prudence in the
iii
application of their scarce resources.
Finally suggestions were made aimed at solving these
problems.
