INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Every economy is made up of a multitude of economic units and
agents. Here are individuals, households, different forms, firms and the
central authority. To carry on with its economic activities, it needs funds.
These units engaged in production., distribution or consumption may
require from other agents the service of their facilities of goods and services.
Specialization and minute elivison of labour in modern economy
have led to firms specializing in different ways. Some of these firms deals
with physical goods and services where as other specialize in money and credit.
The later deal wholly and exclusively in financial assets in liabilities. It is
the specialization that provides the link between different lowers of the
financial sectors and between different hers of economy.
In an economy, financial institution perform a wide set of
functions. There are monetary and non monetary financial institutions. The
former ensures that there is an adequate stock of money to service the needs of
the economy. Some of the type of financial institutions is the central bank and
commercial banks. These institutions can increase or decrease the stock of
money through their actions. But they later facilitate the transfer of money
between economic units. These action of both institutions affect the level of
employment. Income and prices (that is economic activities) which shows that
financial system is the prime mover of economic activities.

prime mover of economic activities attempts to determine the Nigerian financial
system as the prime mover of economic activities as compared to others and to
determine the best credit financing for small scale enterprises. This is with a

terms of seize of loan, profitability of credit etc. The question here then is whether
it can be safety said that small scale enterprises have benefits appreciably

Generally the major problems of small and medium scale industries
consist of finance organization.
A comparison of banks performance with other sources open to small
scale industries will be undertaken in this research in order to find out
which of these sources of credit are most useful and important to small scale
enterprises.
Another problems is lack of time, since this study is just out of

research on this study in question because her time is limited. She also lack
the fund to run up and down to find suitable materials for this research.
