CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1     BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Small  and  medium  enterprises  are  believed  to  be  the major device  for  the  development  of  any economy,  because  they  form  the  major part  of  business  activities  in  a  growing  economy  like  Nigeria (Basil, 2005) .  This  is  obvious  in  the  following  ways,  employment  generation,  rural  development, economic  growth  and  industrialization,  better  utilization  of  indigenous  resources (Tafamel, 2009). Consequently, entrepreneurship is fast becoming a household name in Nigeria. This is as a result of the fact that the so called white collar jobs that people crave for are no longer there which make entrepreneurship a growing trend. Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  (SMEs)  as  defined  by  the  National  Council of  Industries  refer  to  business  enterprises  whose  total  costs  excluding  land  is  more  than  two  hundred  million  naira  (N 200, 000,000.00) only. In  so  many  seminars  and  workshops  both locally  and  internationally, SMEs has formed the matter of discussion.  In  the  same  vein,  governments  at  diverse  levels (local,  state  and  federal  levels)  have  in so many ways concentrated  on  the Small  and  Medium  Enterprises. Some  governments  have  formulated policies  aimed  at  facilitating  and  strengthening  the  growth  and  development  and performance  of  the  SMEs,  others  had  focused  on  assisting  the  SMEs  to  grow through soft loans and other fiscal incentives (Basil  2005). International  agencies  and  organizations such as (World  Bank,  United  Nations Industrial  Development  Organization  (UNIDO),  International  Finance Corporation  (IFC),  United  Kingdom  Department  For  International  Development (DFID),  European  Investment  Bank  (EIB)  among others are  not  only  promptly  interested  in making  SMEs  robust  and  vigorously  in  developing  countries  but  have  also  heavily invested  in  them.  Locally,  the  several  Non-Governmental  Organisations  such  as Fate  Foundation,  Support  and  Training  Entrepreneurship  Programme  (STEP), the  Nigerian  Investment  Promotion  Commission  (NIPC),  the  Association  of Nigerian  Development  Finance  Institutions  (ANDFI),  as  well  as  individual Development  Finance  Institutions  (DFIs)  have  been  promoting  the  growth  of SMEs  in  Nigeria  through  advocacy  and  capacity-building  initiatives,  and  have continued  to  conduct  for  better  structures  for  operators  in  the  SME  subsection (Basil 2005).
So much  has  been  written  about  performance  in  recent  years as  the  relationship  between  finance  and  performance  of  small and  medium  enterprises  (SMEs)  has  received  significant attention  in  finance  literature.  
Small  and  medium enterprises  (SMEs)  performance  may  be  measured  using financial performance, market performance and share holder returns . This  study examines how the  finance  gap  for SMEs  might be addressed  by means  of  policies to support  other financing initiatives other than commercial  finance  by the conventional financial institutions. The study  seeks to  investigate the awareness and  use of these  various financing institutions  available to SMEs in Nigeria.
