It is no more news that 66% of small businesses in Nigeria fizzle out before their 10th year according to Small Business Association (SBA) statistics. This has been the trend as a result of so many factors affecting SMEs in Nigeria and if you’re not going to be part of these 66% businesses, then you need to understand the WHY and the solution to sustaining your business.
Stay with me as I expose these to you.
The main challenges confronting the operations of MSMEs in Nigeria as revealed by the survey are access to finance and poor infrastructure, inconsistency in government policies, poor support (business development
services), access to market, multiple taxation and obsolete technology.
So many businesses have died down as a result of lack of vital information in marketing, customer relation, staff management, accounting, etc. and a handful of many closed down as a result of insufficient cash flow. Yes, I understand it is difficult in this part of the world as a startup or a business owner to have access to sufficient information and access to cash flow all at a go, but what if I tell you that you can get all of these at your finger tip – now made easy.
Business growth and strategy are no more rocket science, but information they say, is power and the ability to grasp it with both hands when it’s near is very vital, and right here you have it.
