Although many individuals do not believe that small-scale businesses face a whole lot of problems than large scale businesses. Larger scale businesses are more likely to enjoy a whole lot of public recognition, as well as make a whole lot of profit and income, however small scale businesses may definitely find it hard to simply earn the recognition of members of the public, and also the face oppression from existing large scale businesses and organisations. One of the common problems faced by small-scale businesses is the lack of governmental support. Small-scale businesses absolutely place very important role in the growth and development of the business sector of a particular economy, but yet the government of most countries pay less or no attention to their existence and welfare. Business banks and business grants institutions in most countries, are being established only to give loans and grants to larger-scale businesses who are looking for ways to facilitate their business, however small scale business owners do not stand a easier chance to seek for a loan or Grant from most business Banks.

Secondly another possible challenges or hindrance face by small-scale business is the problem of diversifying or engaging in other marketing strategies. Large-scale businesses are more likely to diversify as well as engage in other marketing strategies such as social media, marketing email, marketing, and internet marketing. Small scale businesses do not have this opportunities as a result of small or inadequate capital formation.

Finance Management
Every person has to have access to enough cash to pay their payments, just as it is essential for any business. Your life or your business will probably end up becoming a pressure point on the other because of a capital drain. Small business owners must be well financed to prevent this issue or earn additional revenue to supplement financial reserves when necessary. For this reason, the founders of many small businesses start off by holding down a regular job while also growing their company. Running out of money prevents a business from flourishing, even though this split attention can make it difficult.

When money is coming into the company, good money management becomes even more crucial. Even though most business owners can probably handle their own accounting and taxes, it's usually a good idea to get expert assistance. With each client and employee, a company's books become more complicated, so hiring help with the bookkeeping helps protect it from becoming a barrier to growth.

One of the major problems facing small scale businesses in west African countries like Nigeria is the lack of financial funds so as to facilitate the business progress and the business capability and ability to boost performances. The government has also shown inconsistency to the small-scale businesses as a result of not giving attention or interest to their existence even if they play a very important role in satisfying the needs and wants of members of the public and also ensure income generation for private individuals. Small-scale businesses are also not recognised when government are carrying out demolition activities in a particular area where a capital project is to soon start.

Small scale businesses have also suffered from competitors who have definitely established their businesses in larger scale so as to kill the interest of the public to patronize the small-scale businesses. Some of these larger scale businesses have also adopted various ways of generating interest from members of the public some of which engaged in social media marketing, email marketing, digital marketing, and any other form of marketing which is something that small scale businesses may not have the opportunities to do.
