Globally, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) are the major essential business organizations in whole world. Small and Medium Enterprise became the main source of business in Nigeria as the whole. According to Anyanwu, 2004, in Ofeimwn, Nwakoby and Izekor, 2018; Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) from the majority of business undertaking in a developing economy like that of Nigeria and to be instrument for the development of any economy.
The survival of Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) enhances some governments, some government policy to constitute industrial reform; interim of cash foci in the banking sector as well as petty business activities and also a venture in all circumstances (Zhiri, 2017). The Nigerian government has over the years embarked on the series of policies and institutional reforms aimed at enhancing the flow of finance from the banking sector to Small and Medium- scale Enterprise (SMEs) as well as those involve in petty business (micro) activities and entrepreneurial venture at informal level in particular.

Bank and other financial institutions are currently estimated to provide services to only 25% of potential clients worldwide. This was cited by (Mohammad, 2007) opined that only 2% of micro entrepreneurs are being provided service by banks. However, government at all levels recognized the need to encourage the small enterprise through the provision of credit schemes and policy reforms which brought about emergence of Micro Finance Bank the Federal Government of Nigeria introduced during Obasanjo regime to replace the formal community Bank in Nigeria which became operational in 2005. Nigerians in line with their governments acknowledge the need to alleviate poverty and encourage SMEs, through the provision of credit and inform policy reforms with respect to bringing the Micro Finance Banks under the supervision of Central Bank of Nigeria to create enabling environment for SMEs access to small loans. More so, to ensure that the mission of the policies were achieved, which include ensuring the majority of the active population are reached with financial services, and that the total credit as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) ratio increase steadily, as well as micro credit as percentage of total credit to the economy. Equally important was the need to improve access of poor active most especially women to micro finance on a consistent basis (Attah, 2008).
