The study was guided by the following research objectives; to examine the relationship between level of financial institutions and performance of small and medium enterprises at Budadiri Trading Center; to establish the relationship between the nature of collateral security and performance of small and medium enterprises at Budadiri Town Council Sironko district; to determine the relationship between the level of entrepreneurship skills and performance of small and medium enterprises at Budadiri Town Council Sironko district. A cross-sectional quantitative research design was used and a sample of 242 traders was used. The research instrument was self-administered questionnaire which sought responses on financial institutions, collateral security, entrepreneurship skills and performance of small and medium enterprises. The findings revealed that financial institution, collateral security and entrepreneurship skills as factors of business had a positive and a significant influence on the performance of SMEs in Uganda particularly in Sironko district. The researcher recommends that there is need for financial institutions to reduce on interest rate in order to increase on the rate of borrowing of SMEs to promote their growth and hence generating more employment to the masses. In addition, there is need for SMEs traders to undergo vigorous training on the methods and procedures of applying for the loans from financial intermediaries to increase on their finances and hence growth SMEs. Finally, it’s necessary for the government to increase on the level of education sponsorships to enable more people to acquire business managerial skills hence boosting the performance of small and medium enterprises, also SMEs operators should consider expanding business activities beyond their national markets. | |
