One of the big challenges faced by small businesses in my country is insecurity. Their shops are robbed and looted. Some have to pay for security men to secure their shops at nights which amounts in extra cost in running business.

There are a few small scale business and I must say that they are struggling. They usually struggle a lot because the economy of the country is down or the location of the business may not be suitable.

They struggle more with this inflation. Customers are blaming them for hikes in prices. Manufacturers are not showing mercy and are acting out the inflation reality. Small businesses are just like in the middle.

If there is one thing I love about my region is the fact that no matter how loyal you are to a big scale business once there is a small scale business around you you still patronize them because they put in hard work to even start up such a business.

jt is never easy for most small-scale businesses in my country. Not with the high level of fees and levies that are being imposed daily on then. The government should sometimes be considerate

Yeah my point exactly it is not easy at all for businesses in Nigeria. To even set up the business nedds high capital as you might need to even get your own energy supply
True, the economic situation in Nigeria is not friendly at all especially for small business owners. There are so many persons who have started one business or the other but have not been able to keep up with it due to the situation of things.

It is difficult for small businesses to survive now in my country. They would need too much to make the business sustain itself. Some of them are just on life support.

That's right, the economic situation in Nigeria is not helping at all. The government needs to do more especially for small business owners. Small business owners need to do more to make success

The government in my country has taken huge initiatives to boost small and medium scale businesses but the problem we face is from government agencies that seem to want to frustrate the desire of small businesses to grow. Take for instance, Bank of Industry would refuse to give out loans to business people that are small thing even when government has approved and disbursed funds for small businesses.

Taxes and cost of power is what is killing the ability of small businesses to thrive in my country. The truth is that no business can really work without power and when one has to generate his own power to run his business, it becomes extremely difficult to run a business.

Even looking at how inflation is also adding to the challenges of taxation and cost of power is affecting the business makes it even more difficult for them to make any reasonable profit.

Small businesses that don't have sponsors and are still thriving in my country should be respected. The unfavorable government policies and competition from big businesses is enough to close such business down.

Small scale business are really facing a difficult time in this time of hyper inflation. The challenges are really are hard to count. The challenges of energy because most of them run on generating set..

The government is trying to support small scale businesses. It is just that the inflation has made it difficult for most of them to stay in production.

Some small businesses are doing really well in my place. A lot of big businesses that we see today were started in a small scale. But some small scale businesses are not doing well

Small scale business are in hot water nowadays. Government implemented so many unnecessary taxes on them and finally they are either closing their business or survive with very difficulty.
