EFFECTS OF BUSINESS CREDIT AVAILABILITY ON SMALL BUSINESSES

1.0 INTRODUCTION
For both developing and developed countries, small and medium scale firms play importantroles in the process of industrialization and economic growth. Apart from increasing percapita income and output, Small Medium businesses create employment opportunities, enhance regionaleconomic balance through industrial dispersal and generally promote effective resourceutilization considered critical to engineering economic development and growth. However,the seminal role played by Small Medium businesses notwithstanding its development is everywhere constrainedby inadequate funding and poor management. The unfavourablemacro economic environmenthas also been identified as one of the major constraints which most times encourage financialinstitutions to be risk-averse in funding small and medium scale businesses. The reluctanceon the part of financial institution to fund Small Medium businesses can be explained by the insufficient capitalbase of banks and information asymmetry that often exists between Small Medium businesses and lendinginstitutions.

This study critically examines the availability of business credit to small business in Nigeria, and how more funding can be made to support small businesses. However, this chapter, forms the basic foundation for this study as it presents the objectives of the study, and the statement of problem that motivated the researcher to undertake the study.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
During the 1990s, a number of studies documented that lending to small businesses andthe economic activity of small businesses were affected by financial sector disruptions, such asthe widespread merging of banks of all sizes and the capital shortfalls occasioned by large loanlosses.

Although not much previous research has examined discrimination in small businesscredit markets, there has been an active debate on the question of whether banks discriminateagainst minority applicants for mortgages. In an influential study in that area, researchers at theFederal Reserve Bank of Boston tried to collect any information that might be deemedeconomically relevant to whether a loan would be approved along with the borrower’s raceandf financial status (Munnell et al., 1996). In the raw data larger firms had 10 percent of their loans rejected versusrejection rates of 28 percent for small scale businesses. After controlling for the large number ofvariables collected to establish the credit-worthiness of the borrowers (including, the amount ofthe debt, debt/income ratio, credit history, loan characteristics, etc.) small scale businesses were still percentage points less likely to be granted the loan.

A variety of criticisms have been launched at this study (see, for example, Horne 1994;Day and Liebowitz, 1998; Harrison, 1998); responses to these criticisms are found in Browneand Tootell (1996). The most common critique indicates that we cannot make a determination ofdiscrimination unless those small businesses whose loans are approved have a greater likelihood ofrepayment. This argument rests critically upon an implied assumption that the distribution ofrepayment probabilities for large companies and small businesses is identical. Hisfigure indicates that if this assumption is met and if firms discriminate against small businesses by setting ahigher bar for loan approval, then the mean rate of repayment among small businessesconditional uponloan approvalwill be higher for large and smaller firms.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures which are usually considered as the engine that run the economy are usually denied access to credit due to their risky nature. This disturbing threat has existed for a very long time and needs proper attention from both government agencies and non governmental agencies as well. The importance of small businesses in the development of Nigeria cannot be overlooked. Without proper credit availability to small businesses, the economy as a whole will suffer. The objectives of economic planning cannot be achieved if small businesses do not do well. Keeping this in view, the Bank of Nigeria has streamlined Bank’s lending operations to ensure that banks’ credit actually benefits small and medium businesses in Nigeria. This strategy is intended to improve the economy and to develop rural areas in Nigeria.

However, there is some anecdotal evidence that most beneficiaries of business credit from most financial institutions are salaried workers and large scale companies, whose ability to repay loans are believed to be better than that of small scale businesses. Moreover, this belief is not always the case as some small businesses who go for loans are well profitable and well managed.

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The paper will provide some relevant recommendations for policy makers, development agencies, entrepreneurs, and small business managers to help seek better ways to increase business credits to small businesses, and appropriate strategies to improve the small business sector in Nigeria.

Secondly, the study is also vital since it suggest to small businesses certain strategies they can adopt before seeking business credits, to make their borrowing process easier and more effective. This will go a long way to increase the efficiency and profitability level of small businesses in Uyo.
